## Narrative

Coal was observed to start smoldering on the coal pad. We immediately began looking for the source. We began digging the large pile and compacting it to smother any smoldering. It took approx. 8hrs to dig out the source that was centrally located at the base of the pile. Called in as soon as we were confident there was no smoldering
