Narrative

An alleged face ignition occurred on the 3W CM section while mining at the face of the #3 entry. Investigation revealed a missing spray in the bottom center spray block of the CM, which caused the entire 6 spray block to lose water pressure. There were no injuries or damage to equipment or mine structures as a result of this event.
