Narrative

#3 hoist tripped on ""Drive Converter A"" and ground fault. Electrician was called out of the mine to check the hoist and reset the faults. Electrician closed a window in the hoist penthouse to prevent steam formation which causes false hoist tripping. There were still two remaining escapeways throughout the incident (#2 and #6 shafts).
