Experience with fighting fires in coal mines; study of 401 recent fires in United States shows that over 60% were of electrical origin and involved mining equipment; about 1/3 of fires were ignited by short circuits in trailing cables; flammable hydraulic fluid contributed to intensity of fire, making control more difficult in 15% of instances; effectiveness of extinguishing agents and techniques.
