Narrative

A breaker for the battery backup for the #2 hoist tripped during a severe weather event during the night. This caused the batteries to wear down because they could not charge due to the tripped breaker. Once the battery level got low enough, it tripped another breaker to the Grinnell System. This caused the hoist to shut down.
