Narrative

A roof fall occurred behind the substantial structure at XC-32 in the tailgate off LW-303. The fall occurred between No. 2 and No. 3 entries. The fall occurred in a worked out area, however the rubble from the fall knocked out a ventilation control, impacting the active workings. Because of this the fall was immediately reported.
