Narrative

The explosion vents on the coal mill cyclone triggered and hot coal was pulled into the coal mill dust collectors. The kiln was shut down and the fire department called to wash the coal out of the dust collectors. The membranes on the explosion vents need replaced and the dust collector bags need replaced due to water damage when the coal was washed out of the hopper.
