The need for a mine rescue function has always existed since the beginning of mining activities.
\nEspecially since the second half of the 1900s, in line with the increasing needs of mankind and the development of industry, mines all over the world have gone deeper, worked faster and harder, sometimes to the limits of existing technology.
\nIn those years, mine rescue techniques, training and equipment were limited and their effectiveness was extremely low. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The first Mine Rescue teams were made up of volunteers who worked as managers in coal mines and friends of those who lost their lives in explosions, cave-ins and similar mining accidents.
\nThese teams entered the mine after the accident and searched for survivors, rescued the injured, barricaded and extinguished the underground fire and risked their lives to make the mine operational again. <\/p>\n

If we look at the history of breathing apparatus, one of the most basic equipment used by mine rescue teams, the name Henry Fleuss stands out in the design of the first breathing set.
\nHenry Fleuss, who lived between (1851-1933), was a diving engineer working for Siebe, Gorman & Co. of London.
\nIn addition to many inventions such as the Fleuss vacuum pump and the steam car, Henry Fleuss is the inventor of the first SCUBA equipment using pressurized oxygen. <\/p>\n

Designed in 1876 and patented in 1878, this diving equipment freed divers from dependence on systems that supplied fresh air from above the water.
\nThis equipment consisted of a mask, a breathing bag, a copper tank to store oxygen and a cleaning unit. <\/p>\n

This first Closed Circuit Breathing System had a design that allowed carbon dioxide to be removed and oxygen to be reused using a rope soaked in a caustic\/potassium hydrate solution.
\nThis design made it the first closed-circuit breathing apparatus to be used for mine rescue.
\nIn addition, thanks to its bubble-free design, this groundbreaking device was also used in many military operations during World War II. <\/p>\n

The PROTO set was developed over many years and in the late 1950s the latest “MKV” model was introduced. This new apparatus was widely used by fire brigades, although separate training was required for its use. Another advantage of this set was that it allowed many firefighters to work together as a team.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
