You are a mine section foreman. While completing pre-shift checks at the face for the oncoming second shift, you hear someone yelling "Fire!" You respond and find the continuous mining machine on fire in the last open crosscut. Near the fire a miner is down and injured. The fire is hot and getting out of hand. The mine roof over the burning machine begins to work and fall. Two miners are downwind from the smoke and missing. You must decide what to do to help the injured miner, fight the fire, and locate the two missing miners, while keeping your crew and yourself safe.
