Narrative

At 10:37 pm the chippy hoist experienced a power surge that tripped the main breaker. The hoist operator is fairly new and wasn't confident in resetting the breaker, so EE called electricians. While they were in travel, we stood down the crews and prepared to hoist them to 3700. The electricians arrived, reset the breaker and the hoist was back to duty at 11:30pm.
