Narrative

The belt conveyor that transports quicklime to the pebble silos caught on fire. It may have been caused by the lime coming from the cooler feeders was too hot. The SLAM process was applied, the fire could've been put out faster, due to the location of the belt it was decided to not put our miners in harm's way. The fire dept. put the fire out in less than 10 minutes.
