Narrative

Lightning struck an arrestor on a power line and caused sparks to fall down on an extremely dry field. There was no miners fighting the fire but fire departments from Winfield and Mt. Pleasant came out to control the fire. The location of the fire was in a remote area of the mine, no mining activities were close to this event. The fire burned approximately two hours.
