Narrative

A lightning storm caused a break in power that led to the coal mill on Kiln 2 going down. While trying to restart the coal mill fan, the attendant noticed a issue with the starter. An electrician was notified to report to the plant to check the starter. At approximately 12:45am the coal mill expansion joint caught on fire.
