Narrative

A transformer caught fire on a bank of transformers along the mine access road just prior to the 6 Left Shaft hallow at the surface area of the Federal No. 2 Mine. The transformer fed power to a sedimont pond pump. The fire at all times was contained to inside of the transformer and allowed to burn itself out.
