Life saving cars for mine sufferers introduced
Washington reports the U.S. Bureau of Mines will inaugurate a life saving rescue service with six fully equipped cars located in key coal regions. Each car staffs miners trained in rescue and first aid with an engineer and Red Cross surgeon aboard to train locals, provide lectures, and foster local rescue corps to reduce mining fatalities. Car routes aim to reach major communities, with demonstrations on oxygen helmets, fire prevention, and sanitation.
