Brashear Coal Mines in no way accepts responsibility for the mine fire. This fire is the responsibility of the Contractor, Tri Star Mining. They were told several times to extinguish this fire, which they refused to do. However, Brashear Coal Mines is filing this report and will submit a plan for extinguishing said fire since it is on our permit and it is our coal which is burning.
