MINE RESCUE COMPETITION

REKEKKRAKRKKKEKEKKKKKKRKKEK

On June 9th the second Annual
Open Pit Rescue Competition was
held in Prince George, B.C.

In this northern division
competition eight teams competed,
including a team from Cassiar.

Although the Cassiar team did-
n't win the trophy again this
. year, it was felt that our boys
performed very well.

; - The problem this year, was a
nt SALE Se [Pe ety =«split problem. Pitcture #1 shows
et Pm one of the teams rescuing a man

from a crusher hopper when the
conveyor was inadvertantly
started. He has a broken back
and the problem is to rescue him.

About half way through this
rescue operation, work was re-
ceived that a fire in the dryer
building had trapped a man
inside. This necessitated the
Captain having to split up his
team and send some to attempt
to rescue the trapped man. The
second picture shows the victim
being given artificial resuscit-
ation after being removed from
the fire area,
