Narrative

Bolters were bolting crosscut from #3 entry towards the #2 entry but crosscut had not been cut through to the #2 entry yet on the #4 Section. As the bolter started to install the outside roof bolt, an ignition occurred and the flame was put out by fire extinguisher in less than one minute.
