## Narrative

A red glow was spotted by the stockpile dozer operator. The Supervisor stopped the belt. The incident was away from any other structures or miners. The fire department was called to put out the fire. The Fire Marshall determined the cause of the fire was a hot spot in the tail end turnover of the belt. A design problem with the turnover take up pulley is the root cause.
