## Narrative

Fire was first spotted by an ee, and then water was used to extinguish the fire.  Inspection of the bin revealed a hole approximately 1 ½ in diameter.  Hole would have allowed outside damp air to come into contact with the powdered coal which resulted in oxidation followed by the fire.  This hole was repaired prior to putting the system back into service.
