Engineering Analysis and Evaluation of the Centralia Mine Fire. Volume 1
The report presents the results of a study of the Centralia, PA mine fire. Project activities included a review of existing data and background information on the fire, including previously attempted control measures; a review of the geology, mining and hydrology in the Centralia area; an evaluation of the physical character of the overburden and the identification of thermal effects; a ventilation study of the mine workings in which the fire is actively burning and an analysis of the apparent progression of the fire with time; and a review of proven and experimental methods for containing and extinguishing underground mine fires and the formulation of possible courses of action that might be considered for dealing with the fire.
