It takes longer -to do a job that two men could normally do. Sufficient time is given the men to test and prepare their apparatus. They are not unduly hurried at this time, because they realize their lives depend on the device they are about to wear. The teams are briefed as fully as possible, preferably in writing, and the instructions must be fully understood. The stand-by team should also hear and understand those instructions. All mine rescue teams carry a Flame Lamp and a Carbon Monoxide Detector with them as standard equipment. Other items the teams must carry are link lines, whistles, chalk, wrenches, pencil, paper and any tools necessary for the perfor- mance of their job. The mine rescue telephone is a valuable piece of equipment and is used to advantage in many cases. If the emergency is of such magnitude that other teams are required, this assistance will be provided by other Mine Rescue Teams in the Province or other Provinces. Requests for assistance can come from other industries & from mines outside the Province. There may be an emergency situation at an industrial plant or other location that requires highly trained rescue personnel. Mine Rescue teams are comprised, of a group of six men and one Briefing Officer . All are professionaly trained and highly skilled in mine rescue and/or assistance in most underground situations. Teams train a minimum of six times a year running through various disaster scenarios to ensure that any real life mine rescues are second nature to them. The competition is subdivided into three parts as follows: Questions based on the 1984 edition of the Mine Rescue Handbook, must be individual- ly answered during a preset time limit. Questions deal with acceptable levels of various gases, first aid treatment and the correct interpretation of given factual data. Here the men prepare and complete a time limited field check of all their underground rescue equipment. A written, report is issued to the Judge. The Briefing Officer (separated from his team) is given a list of events leading up the mock disaster. All his reasonable questions are answered. He is then given instructions outlining what his team is to do with the pro- blem and presents this data to his rescue The Domtar Goderich mine rescue 'team won the fourth annual district Mine Rescue,Com- petition hosted by Goderich on Saturday at the local arena.

Again a question period occurs and then all necessary equipment is readied. The team advances to the simulated mine (arena floor) attempting to solve the pro- blem and then return to their Briefing Of- ficer upon completing the problem task. The Briefing Officer and Team Captain com- plete a written report at the end of this test including all events which occurred during the rescue, and submit this report along with their results to the Judges. All possible errors expected are listed in advance on a sheet with demerit marks noted. Any serious error(s) not listed would be discussed by the judges following each team's performance. The team with the least number of total demerit points for the three events is declared the winner. Although there can only be one first place team, everyone benefits from the "hands on" experience which they gain but hope never to use. A special comradeship bet- ween all teams has developed over the years with the days events being rehashed and trophies presented during a com- memorating dinner banquet and later even- ing dance. From its origin in 1928, mine rescue volunteers in Ontario have responded to the needs of the mining industry by continuing to modernize, upgrade and standardize mine rescue activities throughout the Pro- vince. An ongoing program of practice drills and training ensures that mine rescue teams can effectively and efficiently res- pond to emergency situations at all times.
