Narrative

The fire-boss discovered a roof fall in the escapeway while making his rounds. Two seperated adjacent escapeways exist and the lifelin and escapeway was routed around the fall. The fall area was timbered and breakered off to prevent travel from all sides. The fall did not occur above the anchorage zone of the bolts.
