Details of Event
Whilst filling tub in drawing road, large piece of rock 1.5 tons weight dropped on him without any warning. The stone was freed by a break and was drawn from the roof. The fireman admitted he knew the stone was drawn as also did the two colliers; certainly the stone ought to have been taken down. (Roof good).
