Crews quickly put out the fire but the smoke underground forced 87 workers into a mine refuge station.
The workers came up from the refuge stations in stages after the smoke cleared. The last miners came up at around 5:20 a.m. on Thursday morning.
No injuries were reported and work resumed at the mine this morning.
