Narrative

A motor was pulling a lowboy into the mine. It came off track at 16 xcut on Cool Hill #5 and struck a overcast. The overcast partially collapsed due to wall of overcast being pushed out. The trolley wire developed a high resistance catching some wood on fire. The fire was put out and lasted 12 minutes.
