Narrative

While restarting the #5 Raymond coal mill at approx. 10:15 AM, an unplanned ignition occurred from a small amount of coal dust left inside the emply mill. There was no damage to the damper control system and the fan housing. The event wasn't reported until 2/8/08 at which time it was called into MSHA. There were no injuries and no fire as a result of this ignition.
