## Narrative

At 10:30 pm there was a report that 2-shaft top station was hazier than normal but gas readings with a Ventis pro 5 gas detector were normal. A supervisor bump tested an MX6 gas monitor & accompanied employees back to 2-shaft portal to investigate. When the 2nd air door was opened, there was smoke so they retreated & initiated the mine emergency response plan.
