Montana Tech Mine Rescue

It’s been a busy semester for our Mine Rescue team. In September we held the first ever Montana Tech Mine Rescue Competition in which our team received second place in the field portion of the competition. Other teams that were involved were South Dakota School of Mines and Colorado School of Mines. Later in the year our team helped the World Museum of Mining put on there Haunted Mine Tour. We would like to thank all of our sponsors that helped us put on the competition and hope to get more things rolling in the new year.

Montana Technological University Mine Rescue Help Montana Tech raise $30,000 for the project: Montana Technological University Mine Rescue. Your gift will make a difference!

This weekend we held a initial certification class for our BG-4 self-contained breathing aperatus! With this class our team now has 8 certified BG-4 bench technicians that will allow us to train under oxygen and bench our BG-4 units in preparation for our mine rescue contest we are hosting at Montana Tech in September! Big thanks to Darrell and Harry from Draeger and Cindy with Jennmar for putting on a amazing class!

Just wanted to say thank you to Dräger for putting on a great tech competition for the collegiate teams present at this years SME conference in Phoenix! Always a great experience dealing with your team! Our team took first in gas, second in first aid and bench with an overall second place finish!
