1.0 INTRODUCTION
Fire protection at the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V) operation is
provided by dry chemical extinguishing agents and, in selected locations, sprinklers and
high-pressure hose stations with. foam additive such as in the Ironclad shop/VVarehouse.
In addition, mine water trucks (13,000 gallon and 18,000 gallon capacity) are available
for fire response. Both trucks are equipped with monitors (e.g.'water cannons controlled
from within the truck). The 13,000-gallon capacity truck also is equipped with a hose
reel for manual fire fighting. (Both trucks are equipped with 2.5"fire hose connections)
Fire Protection Plans ("FPP") for each major operating element of CC&V are discussed
in Sections 2 through 10. Operating elements are shown on Figure 1 "General Facility
Layout". This Plan addresses the fire equipment and protection facilities that are
available on site for each operating element. Assistance from the Cripple Creek Fire
Department to augment on-site equipment would be requested in the event of failure of
on-site systems. The Cripple Creek Fire Department has been briefed on the location of
flammable materials and has agreed to respond if called.
