| Mining | The heat generated before an actual mine fire occurs. Heatings, or incipient fires, are detected in mines by smell and by analysis of air samples. In mines liable to spontaneous combustion, trained officials and workers are employed to detect and deal with heatings and fires and they become expert in these duties. (references) | ||
