## Narrative

An ignition occurred at shield #58 on the E-7 Longwall panel face when the shearer was attempting to cut through a sandstone intrusion that had dropped down in into the coal seam from the top. When investigated by MSHA and company personnel, only one worn bit was found that might have caused the ignition to occur.
