Three Mine Fire Control Projects in Northeastern Pennsylvania
Work and costs involved in controlling three large fires in abandoned mines in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania are presented in detail. Three basic control techniques were successfully employed by the Bureau of Mines: forming underground fire-containing barriers by systematically flushing incombustible material into mine voids, excavating an isolation trench around the fire area, and complete excavation of hot and burning material in the fire area. When methods 2 and 3 were used, the excavations were subsequently back-filled with incombustible material. (Author)
