Narrative

The plant coal mill system sustained an internal fire to the upper bag house. During normal operations the mill pressure unexpectedly increased, causing the engineered pressure relief vents to deploy as designed. Ensuing fire damage was confined to bag house cages, tube sheets, pressure venting and electrical systems, which will all be replaced / repaired.
