Narrative

There was some smoke leaving the #2 coal tank that couldn't be seen from the ground. We notified MSHA at their 800 number to report a possible fire in our #2 coal tank. We then ran a fire hose up to the top of the coal hopper from the fire hydrant. The foreman and a laborer flooded the coal inside the tank with fogging spray.
