Narrative

A belt heater malfunctioned causing the C90 conveyor belt to catch on fire. A miner noticed the fire and tried to extinguish it. Once two extinguishers were used the miner could not put the fire out, so EE proceeded to call for someone on the radio to get the fire department on site. The Buffalo fire department came and extinguished the fire.
