Accident type, without injuries

At approximately 11:45AM Monday March 6, 2023 ambers from a burn pile caught dry leaves on fire at the Hartridge Surface Mine. We got 4-5 guys with shovels and used a dozer to contain and extinguish the fire. It burned for about an hour. Calls were made to both MSHA and MHS&T. We do have a current burn permit that was issued on Feb. 28 2023 by the US Forest Service
