Abstract

Email to a Friend
Late in 1982 a fire began in the shallow, abandoned workings of the Uitkyk Colliery near Witbank, South Africa. Urgent measures had to be taken to quench the fire, before the surface caving it caused could put an important railroad connection out of action. This paper outlines the way in which the job was tackled.
