In a roadway of Hirschberg colliery !

 

In the roadway for haulage !


On the conveyor that can be seen in this photo the coal was brought to the surface. Let me draw your attention to the boxes with water under the ceiling: The shock wave of a firedamp explosion will destroy the boxes and the water falling down will cool down the flames that are coming after the shock wave so that they will not be able to cause any damage.
