## Narrative

The mine lost power from what was later discovered to be a downed powerline.  The cause of the damage is unclear but believed to be a lightning strike or the failure of an insulator which allowed the powerline to burn through the pole.  The top of the power pole could not immediately be reached due to the electrical hazard and smoldered for over 30 minutes after discovery.
