Mine Rescue

By Angela Gemmill

A Sudbury team has the distinct honour of being the top in the province when it comes to mine rescue.

The five-member team from Vale West Mines won the top prize -golden hard hats- during the two-day Ontario Mine Rescue Competition last week in Thunder Bay.

They competed against six other teams….all evaluated on firefighting skills, first aid response, use of emergency equipment and decision making abilities under stress.
