Narrative

On 8-2-12 lightning caused wildfires encroached on mine property burning appx 672 acres. Defensive lines were built around mine to prevent spread onto mine property. Mining operations were unaffected, fire didn't spread into pits or other active mine areas. MSHA was notified & verbal 103(1) order was issued. When MSHA arrived, order was modified to a 103(k) & terminated.
