Narrative

While night shift was beginning their shift, a SMD contract employee discovered one of SMD's haul trucks burning at the 4510-519 stope. Attempts were made to extinguish the flames, but were unsuccessful so the mine was evacuated. All personnel were evacuated with no injuries and the brass board was cleared at 7:45 pm. Several mine rescue teams were utilized to put the fire out.
