## Narrative

Miner was mucking into a muck bay with a 2-Yard LHD. They had a full bucket and when attempting to dump it they got on uneven ground and as they raised the bucket the loader tipped over onto the right side. After it tipped, oil and fuel began to leak onto hot components of the exhaust and possibly the turbo which caused the fluids to ignite, resulting in the loader catching fire.
