## Narrative

MSHA inspector discovered a small fire in the berm beside a coal stockpile.  The high sulfur coal in the berm has spontaneously ignited due to an increase in the ambient temperature.  Burning material was spread, watered, and compacted to extinguish fire.  The adjoining stockpile was watered and spread out to eliminate some build up of heat.
