Some of them have resulted in serious loss of life and property. Certain operators, especially those who have experienced losses, realize the danger of underground fires and have adopted preventive and protective measures. There are others, how ever, who have not given the matter much thought, or who do not appreciate the necessity of special precautions for protecting their mines against fire. This feeling of safety is caused by the fact that many of the mines have had no fires during periods of 20 to 30 years. The purpose of this paper is to awaken the operator to the ever present danger of fire underground. Most of the suggestions regard ing prevention and protection are old and well known, and although some of them are at present in use, there are still a great number of mines provided with little or no protection.
