| Abstract |
The authors detail the objectives to be considered prior to sealing a fire, followed by the factors and problems associated with fire seals. They conclude with three examples of shaft or adit sealing, and three practical examples of sealing underground fires. The paper describes numerous seals which have been used successfully on mine fires and which are believed to be useful to the mining engineer involved in similar crises. |
