A fire was discovered at the Ruban mine in Kuzbass. It is reported by TASS with reference to the commander of the Kemerovo paramilitary mine rescue detachment, Yuri She.
Currently, the focus is being localized and cooled with the help of water. According to the interlocutor of the agency, in the future, most likely, work on isolation and inertization will be performed.
Earlier, the company “SUEK-Kuzbass”, which owns the mine, reported that the preliminary cause of the emergency was the self-heating of the formation located in the non-working zone. According to the firm, the facility triggered sensors that recorded the release of carbon monoxide.
The state of emergency in a mine in the Kemerovo region became known on December 19. 139 miners were on duty at that moment.
