Anglo American has suspended production at its steelmaking coal mine in Queensland, Australia, because of an underground fire, the company said.

Emergency protocols were followed at the Grosvenor mine, and all workers were safely evacuated after the “coal gas ignition incident,” the company said Sunday in a press release. The fire, which ignited on Saturday, was still burning a day later, the company said.

It’s expected to take several months to assess the damage and re-enter the mine, according to Anglo American.
