## Narrative

Early into 2nd shift the hoist (Koepe) tripped out due to low air in the compressor. This shut the hoist down creating an evacuation due to not having two escapeways to surface. The mine was evacuated with no injuries or other problems. The issue was corrected and the hoist was put back into service at 6:20 am on 4/17/2012.
