## Narrative

The roof bolter operator created a spark when the machine set the bolt.  The spark fell to the floor and ignited a small methane bleed.  The mechanic (sitting on the borer miner in front of the bolter) and the bolter helper sprayed the bleed and had it out within seconds.  There was no injury.
