## Narrative

An gate between the lime kiln and the stone feed weigh belt was not closed and the stone feed weigh belt was exposed to hot kiln gas and caught on fire. Attempts were made to extinguish the fire but due to winds, the fire continued to smolder and required more lenghtly fire suppression as personnel could not disturb embers behind the conveyor belt guarding until cooled.
