2007




We are happy to announce we have finished testing our self contained coal mine fire fighting system at NIOSH - it was a huge success.

Some of our proven success.

San Juan de Sabinas - Mexico 2006
This was mainly a humanitarian effort in San Juan De Sabinas Mexico. We worked closely with Grupo Mexico and MSHA personnel which were granted a special provision to enter Mexico.

Alma Mine #1 -West Virginia 2006
We where on site to help with the coordination and rescue effort as mine fire and safety consultants.

West Elk Mine - Paonia, CO - 2005
We where on site working to make sure this mine fire was both contained and extinguished.

Buchanan - Oakwood, VA - 2005
This was a large mine fire in a coal seam that produced large amount of methane gas.

Excel 3 - Pikeville, KY - 2004
We were able to successfully contain and help extinguish this mine fire in approximately 72 hours.

Skyline Mine #3 - Schofield, UT - 2001
Our system was able to put out the coal mine fire in approximately 24 hours after it was started.

Testing @ NISOH

Lake Lynn 2006 - NIOSH

We are headed back to NIOSH with the HELLBLASTER jet engine and our new Durafoam mine seal technology.

We look to test and prove our newest additions to the family. Like the Hellfighter, we have always sought to research, develop, in house test, NIOSH test then prove our equipment. We do not rush in with unproven and untested equipment or products like some of our competitors like to attempt.

Lake Lynn 2003 - NIOSH

We took the Hellfighter system to the Lake Lynn Laboratory for testing by NIOSH officials. Our system after some initial adjusting was simply amazing in both the time it took to cool a smoldering gobe and efficiency in which it filled the mine shaft.
