The Third Annual Northern Nevada
Underground Mine Rescue Contest
April 20-21, 2007
Are You the Best in the West?
Join us for the opportunity to compete against some of the best mine rescue teams in the country. Gain valuable experience and put your training to the test. Use the contest to build confidence in your teams or to prepare for national competition.
New to mine rescue contests? No problem! Join us at the contest as a novice non-competitive team. Non-competitive teams complete the same course as all the others, however rather than being scored they are coached through each scenario. It's a great way to learn the ropes, and build skills and techniques. After the novice teams have completed the course they can observe the other teams and learn from their experience.
The 2007 contest is open to all underground mine rescue teams regardless of location or experience. Space is limited to the first 20 teams.
For more information please contact Randy Squires
or David Crawford at 775-754-6003.
Special Thanks for the 2006 Sponsors
