Discovered a small roof fall in x-cut 12 between 1 & 2 entry in the tailgate of LW-202. The area was dangered off and additional supplemental supports were installed to prevent the fall from growing. The fall was approximately 12 ft long and was rib to rib at the mouth of the crosscut toward number 2 entry. The fall was above the roof bolts.
