One
of the purposes of the mine rescue program is to ensure training
and equipment is consistent across the province. While the
program was first established solely to respond to fires underground,
mine rescue crews today are trained to tackle all types of
non-fire emergencies, and to rescue workers who may be trapped
or injured. MASHA's mine rescue officers are assigned to specific
regions of the province, where they work with companies and
mine rescue crews to improve their emergency preparedness.
