A fire is burning inside Utah’s most productive coal mine in the Book Cliffs, prompting an emergency response by federal mine regulators at the Emery County site.
All miners were safely evacuated from the Lila Canyon mine after it caught fire Wednesday morning, according to Hollie Brown, spokesperson for the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. No injuries have been reported.
Officials with the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) have assumed control of the situation and are directing efforts to extinguish the fire, Brown said.
Brown was not able to provide further details. Messages left with MSHA were not immediately returned Thursday.
