about four breaks and once we get down
that way we've got Inspire Rescuers and
we got phones in both Escape ways we
call outside and see what he wants to do

all right
there's been an emergency situation
underground there was a fire at the
number five Head Drive which is the belt
line for the fifth belt underground
located in the East Mains all the miners
have been accounted for and the fire has
been extinguished dmme and MSHA will
conduct a full investigation and
determine the cause of the fire proper
training practice and timely
implementation of the emergency escape
procedures have led the way to a
successful in escape and firefighting
effort my informing or look to for
leadership by the miners in times like
this today Donnie Thomas stepped up to
the plate made the right choices and led
the way his mind Rescue Training and
experience was very valuing his crew to
safety today once again we cannot
emphasize the importance of
non-emergency training into the safety
of the miners I appreciate all of your
questions and we will have more
information as it becomes available
know your Escape ways every Miner should
be familiar with the primary and
secondary Escape ways throughout the
mine
stay calm remaining calm during mine
emergencies will allow you to think
clearly and make the best decisions
possible account for all minors before
beginning an evacuation be sure to
account for all minors in your work area
communicate with the surface at every
opportunity the status and plans of
minors should be communicated with the
surface at every opportunity
collect extra scsrs tetherline and
Escape way Maps before you leave the
section items stored on the sections
such as maps tetherline and extra scsr
should be collected and taken with you
before leaving stay together during any
evacuation groups of miners should
always stay together ride as far as
possible the most efficient way to
evacuate a mine is to ride a motorized
vehicle as far as possible Don your scsr
at the first sign of smoke don't
hesitate to put your scsr on at the
first indication you may need it pick up
extra scsrs retrieve and carry with you
extra scsrs whenever you pass a storage
cachet keep the tether line with you
always carry the tether line with you as
you continue to evacuate even if
traveling in clear air because you may
encounter smoke at any time respond
promptly to system alarms system alarms
should always be taken seriously and
responded to promptly remember the
Refuge alternative is a last resort
always remember huge alternatives are
provided for minors where Escape is not
possible
