3 2019 Provincial Competition Red Lake SCENARIO K+S Windsor Salt, Ojibway mine rescue volunteers celebrated the 90th anniversary of Ontario Mine Rescue and the 70th annual Ontario Mine Rescue Provincial Competition, by winning their first-ever champions’ gold hard hats in the Provincial Competition held for the first time ever in Red Lake at Red Lake Gold Mines. Volunteers were called out when security received a single call from a gas checker reporting he was trapped in the 27-Level shop, and other gas checking crews could not be contacted. Teams headed down the cage to the level and along a decline ramp toward the shop, but before arriving there discover a vehicle had crashed into a 250-gallon fuel cube, and cut a 600v power cable running along the fuel bay wall. The cube had leaked about 200 gallons of fuel, and the power cable was arcing. Teams had to de-energize the cable, lock out the power, and were expected to cover the fuel leak with a layer of AFFF and the PRO/pak. When the teams discover the driver of the vehicle vital signs absent and with third degree burns to 100 per cent of her body, they heard shouts for help from behind the closed shop doors. Once inside they found the trapped worker pinned under a large fan that was being unloaded from a vehicle. After the casualty was treated for a gross femoral bleed and a crushed pelvis, teams returned to surface to hand him over to EMS and get out of oxygen. But before calling it a competition, they are called to extinguish a truck fire near one of the mine’s headframes.

6 2018 Provincial Competition Kirkland Lake (Matachewan) SCENARIO Tahoe Canada, Timmins West and Bell Creek mine rescue volunteers earned the gold hard hats in the 69th Provincial Mine Rescue Competition at Alamos Gold, Young-Davidson Mine, near Matachewan. Volunteers, responding to a call at Young-Davidson Mine, had to re-assemble and function test BG4 breathing apparatus left to dry after a training exercise, and repack a first aid kit, as well as field test standard equipment, before being briefed on a scoop fire, missing workers, and a shaft crew working at shaft bottom. On the 9440 Level on their way to the fire, the team learned of six unaccounted mechanics whom they found in a warehouse having taken refuge there in an unestablished air tent without an air supply and under deteriorating conditions. The team was assigned to alter ventilation to the warehouse, and when conditions permitted, evacuate the mechanics to the level refuge station. Once the workers were safe, the team proceeded to the fire to build a barricade with materials left from the training exercise. Then, after fetching the Chemgard and high expansion foam, installed the foam generator into the newly built barricade to extinguish the fire. When the fire was out, the team was directed to the shaft where an injured worker, unconscious with head and spinal trauma, lies 80 feet below level on the galloway. The team, now out of oxygen, performs a rope rescue, then loads the casualty into a personnel carrier for evacuation to surface ending the scenario.

9 2017 Provincial Competition Goderich SCENARIO Mine rescue volunteers from Goldcorp Musselwhite Mine undeterred by the cavernous drifts of the largest operating salt mine in the world, Compass Minerals’ Goderich Mine, earned the gold hard hats and more in the 68th Provincial Mine Rescue Competition. A guide joined each team as soon as they arrived at the mine substation in response to a mutual aid call. While waiting their turn in the rotation. and leaving their Briefing Officer and Technician in the substation, teams responded to a radio report from security of a worker who had fallen about 15 metres from a catwalk in a silo to the top of a salt stockpile. Using the new rope rescue system, teams performed a pickoff rescue to prevent the casualty from being inundated in salt and raise him to the catwalk. With emergency medical services (EMS) on the scene, teams were directed to rejoin their Briefing Officer and Technician at the mine rescue substation. From there, teams were directed by the control group to collect a stocked stretcher at #2 Headframe and head underground to the advanced Fresh Air Base to be the standby team. When an expected vehicle handoff with a team of gas checkers failed to occur at the shaft station, the teams headed down the drift on foot to the last reported location of the gas checkers. When they find the gas checkers, teams learn one had tripped, fallen and suffered an open femur fracture on a catwalk on the top of two-level 400-ton bin. Teams had to traverse the ladder, stairs and catwalks of the bin to reach the casualty and provide first aid. When the casualty was packaged for EMS, the teams had to make the challenging return trip to the base of the bin with a loaded stretcher. At this point, #6 Man was directed to leave the team to use a rock splitter to break up and remove large salt boulders that blocked an adjacent travelway. Teams were able to catch their breath on a 15-minute ride via personnel carrier to the advanced FAB, where the Briefing Officer and the Technician left the team to begin their competition tasks. Advised of 1,600 ppm carbon monoxide levels in a nearby drift, the team is instructed to get under oxygen, and explore for the source of the CO. They discover a 988 Loader sideswiped and overturned by a 62-tonne truck, the engine compartment of the truck on fire. The loader driver is pinned under the loader, suffering a crushed pelvis and deep abdomen lacerations. A compressed air foam system was required to extinguish the fire, and lifting bags to release the casualty. While working to release the trapped workers, teams learn that the methane level in their area is rising. As the man is released, the team’s gas monitor indicates a methane level of 35 per cent of the lower explosive limit. Seconds later, a simulated methane explosion forces teams to wrap up and evacuate to the FAB, ending the scenario.

12 2016 Provincial Competition Sudbury SCENARIO Volunteers from Compass Minerals Goderich Mine took the mine rescue skills and knowledge developed in cavernous drifts with 40-ft backs of a slat mine to the more restricted hard rock confines of the NORCAT Underground Centre in Levack, near Sudbury to win the 2016 Provincial Mine Rescue Competition. In the competition scenario teams on site at NORCAT for the testing of a new emergency warning system were assigned to find miners who did not respond to the test. The situation was upgraded to an emergency when a miner detonated an explosion, spreading gases through the mine. Once under oxygen, the teams resumed the search for the two missing miners, discovering one with his arm entrapped and partly severed in a ventilation fan, and his partner suffering from emotional trauma and shock. The casualties were treated and individually taken to surface. Adding realism to the scenario was Bill Whelan, a former Timmins miner who suffered the traumatic amputation of his right arm in a 1999 incident. Whelan, who uses his experience to promote workplace safety, volunteered as the entrapped miner who loses his arm. After sending the casualties to hospital, the teams investigated the blast area to find and extinguish a fire fueled by improperly stored materials. That completed the underground scenario but not the competition. Breathing easier on the ride to the Onaping Mine Rescue Station to clean their equipment, teams encountered a street theatre conflict between a frontend loader driver and a pickup driver at a traffic stop. The conflict ended with the pickup driver trapped in his vehicle, and the mine rescuers using edraulic extrication equipment to rescue him.

24 2012 Provincial Competition Sudbury SCENARIO Mine rescuers from Barrick-Hemlo earned the gold hard hats as the overall winners of the 63rd annual Ontario Mine Rescue Competition in Sudbury, June 8 and 9.The Barrick-Hemlo team, comprised mainly of members of last year’s runner-up team, was the last but the best of seven district champions to compete in a simulated emergency over two days at Vale’s Copper Cliff Mine South Site. Competing teams had to extinguish a fire, find missing miners – including rescuing one being crushed by a rolling garage door and another overcome by smoke – and treat their injuries. These rescues were conducted “under oxygen” (using self-contained rebreathing apparatus) underground. They also used rope apparatus to rescue a collapsed welder from a basket at the end of an elevated crane.

27 2011 Provincial Competition Marathon SCENARIO Workplace Safety North (WSN) and Ontario Mine Rescue crowned mine rescuers from Vale West Mines with gold hard hats as overall winners of the 62nd annual Ontario Mine Rescue Competition in Marathon. The team dedicated their win to Vale miners Jason Chenier and Jordan Fram, killed in an incident at Stobie Mine in Sudbury a day before the event. The fatalities, a poignant reminder of the importance of mine rescue, were commemorated with a minute of silence during the awards presentation as participants and audience members wore black ribbons. During a simulated emergency at Barrick-Hemlo’s Williams Mine, the six-member teams from seven districts had to extinguish a surface fire, find missing miners underground – including rescuing an unconscious miner from a catwalk – and treat their injuries.

30 2010 Provincial Competition Timmins SCENARIO Ontario Mine Rescue returned to its origins in Timmins and the Hollinger Gold workings for the 2010 provincial competition at the Hollinger Underground Mine Tour. Mine rescue teams first demonstrated their skills in timed firefighting, high rope rescue, and lifting bag exercises, before being called to respond to an underground vehicle accident resulting from a fire. Rescuers recovered a casualty from the vehicle accident, and a second from an incident involving a jumbo drill, when the fire cut off their access to the ramp. Participants were forced to exit the mine by an Alimak lift at the end of the drift, when a temporary power outage stranded some in the lift and tried everyone’s patience.

36 2008 Provincial Competition Sudbury SCENARIO The 2008 mine rescue competition took place at NORCAT’s underground training facility – Fecunis Mine – and at the Greater City of Sudbury’s Alertec fire training facility. Cameras underground provided a live feed of the action to the spectators gathered above ground. This year’s scenario involved extinguishing a mine fire and locating three missing workers. Teams had to negotiate a tight situation when a missing electrician with a closed fracture to his femur was found on a catwalk. The catwalk was only accessible by a steep ladder and teams had to strap the victim to a backboard and lower him down the ladder. The teams had to continue down the drift to find the other missing two miners and extinguish a fire on a scooptram. Due to the water lines being down, the teams had to return to surface to obtain a portable Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) that could extinguish the fire. The teams also had to respond to an emergency call at Alertec where a worker had fallen from a five-story building and was suspended in his fall arrest harness. The team had to set up the GripTech rope system and perform a pick off to rescue the individual.

42 2006 Provincial Competition Timmins SCENARIO The provincial mine had a report of smoke from an electrician on the 1600 level. All personnel reported in, with the exception of three men on the 1700 level. To complete the scenario, the teams were required to travel to 1700 level where they encountered medium smoke in the 1700 w drift. They discovered one missing man in the refuge station and then travelled on to find evidence of an explosion at the 1701 xc. The explosion had knocked out the water line. In the entrance a diamond drill had been set up. Past the diamond drill the team encountered thick smoke and heat. To battle the fire, the team needed to repair the water line. Once the fire was extinguished, they were able to hear someone calling for help from the 1750 drift. The team discovered a man trying to help his unconscious partner who was pinned against the wall by heavy mobile equipment. The team had to use lifting bags to free the man. Once the man was safely taken to surface, officials declared the scenario over.

45 2005 Provincial Competition Hamilton SCENARIO A mine foreman reported to the superintendent that a high water alarm had been triggered in the sump and 10 minutes later smoke was reported coming out of the shaft; a fault alarm at the conveyor transfer has also gone off. The control group sounded the alarm and all personnel were accounted for except for three men working in the S3-1 drift. To complete the scenario, the teams were required to travel, under oxygen, to the S3-2 conveyor transfer. Upon arrival, they discovered a fire that needed to be extinguished. Once the fire is out they were able to proceed to S3-3 where damaged ventilation doors were discovered, low oxygen readings were encountered and the radios ceased to work. Officials considered the scenario over when the three men were found – one was at the refuge station, one was trapped behind the conveyor and one was behind a barricade treated for injuries, and safely brought to surface.
