Narrative

While Northshore Mining & Cummins employees were investigating the engine faults on 530 Haul truck, a loud popping noise was heard and smoke was seen rolling out of the grid box. The fire department was called, fire was eventually seen and extinguished, and MSHA was notified due to the fire possibly lasting more than 30 minutes (they were onsite for an ongoing inspection).
