Narrative

An alleged face ignition was reported on the F28 TG section while mining in the #2 entry. An investigation revealed that small areas of pyrite were found in the rib and face areas. During mining these pyrite areas were struck and may have caused sparks that contributed to the face crews assessment that an ignition occurred. No violations were issued during the investigation.
