1. INDIANA MINE RESCUE CONTEST JUNE 3, 2010

2. STATEMENT I am , Superintendent of the Hoosier #1 Mine. You are located at the fresh air base of the 1 Left Section. This fresh air base was established when conditions were encountered that no longer permitted bare face exploration. The 1 Left Section is developing 3 entries off of the Main entries and has been operated with a partial six person crew. At 7:00 a.m. this morning the mine communication center received a call from the 1 Left Section which said we are in trouble, and then all communications were lost. One miner came out of the mine and further reported smoke on the section. Several attempts have been made to contact the remainder of the crew, to no avail. This section has experienced bad roof conditions, water problems, and high concentrations of methane gas. The power will remain energized in the fresh air base, however, all power going inby the fresh air base has been de-energized and locked out, but will be available when you need it. The mine is ventilated with a blowing fan that is in operation and cannot be reversed, shut off, or stalled out. All proper authorities have been notified, a command center has been established on the surface, and back-up mine rescue teams are standing by if needed. The mine map is up to date. This is all the information we have available at this time.

3. PROBLEM PROBLEM Explore the Mine in its entirety if safe to do so. Account for all missing persons. Bring all survivors to the Fresh Air Base.
