You are the foreman for an 8 person crew that is advancing the headings of a longwall entry. You receive a call from the dispatcher reporting smoke coming out the belt entry from your section 5,000 feet outby your position. The air at the face is clear. You must decide how to evacuate the section, what equipment to take with you, gather information about the location and size of the fire, and determine if you should fight the fire or leave. The lives of the 8 miners you supervise, the lives of many other miners in the mine, and the well being of the mine depend upon your judgments and actions.
