Narrative

During weekly performance testing and routine maintenance, one of the brakes overheated and locked on the Timberland Hoist situated at #10 Shaft. All miners working underground were safely evacuated to the surface via #8 Shaft. After the brake was allowed to cool, it was adjusted, tested, and the hoist returned to service.
