    KANAWHA COUNTY, WV (WOWK) – Folks around the coal tipple in the Sanderson area of Kanawha County might be smelling smoke in the coming days and weeks.

    According to the Pinch Volunteer Fire Department , this is because a fire has started deep underground in that area, and smoke is venting up through the old portals at the coal tipple.
