## Narrative

The Wana Elevator was transporting two employees to the surface when the north brake release solenoid shorted out at approx. 3:45pm, causing the employees to become entrapped until the coils could be replaced in the solenoid. Once the coils were replaced the employees exited the elevator at 4:26pm. It did not involve any equipment or compliance issues.
