发生在废弃煤矿、废物库和煤炭露头中的火灾构成严重的健康、安全和环境危害。有毒烟雾、空气质量恶化和地面沉降是这些火灾的最大危害。尽管每个产煤州都会发生废弃矿区（AML）火灾，但问题的严重程度各不相同。扑灭或控制AML火灾的方法，包括挖掘、防火屏障和密封，通常是昂贵的，并且成功的可能性相对较低。美国矿业局的这份报告包括来自各种来源的信息，即，联邦政府机构、州政府机构、研究报告、会议记录、产品信息和技术文献。这些信息已整理成一个全面的讨论AML火灾问题。有关过去消防工程的数据和目前问题的估计程度的数据已经汇编。讨论了影响AML火灾发生、蔓延和熄灭的因素。传统的火力控制方法进行了描述，并评估其可能的有效性。还包括关于AML火灾的危害和安全考虑的信息。目前的技术状况，在消防方法的最新改进，目前的研究领域进行了讨论。
Fires that occur in abandoned coal mines, waste banks, and in coal outcrops constitute a serious health, safety, and environmental hazard. Toxic fumes, the deterioration of air quality, and subsidence constitute the greatest hazards from these fires. Although fires on abandoned mined land (AML) occur in every coal-producing state, the severity of the problem varies. Methods to extinguish or control AML fires, including excavation, fire barriers, and sealing, are generally expensive and have a relatively low probability of success. This US Bureau of Mines report includes information from a variety of sources, i.e., agencies of the Federal Government, State agencies, research reports, conference proceedings, product information, and technical literature. This information has been collated into a comprehensive discussion of AML fire problems. Data on past fire control projects and on the estimated extent of the current problem have been compiled. Factors affecting the occurrence, propagation, and extinguishment of AML fires are discussed. Conventional fire control methods are described, and their probable effectiveness is evaluated. Information on the hazards of AML fires and safety considerations is included. The status of current technology, recent improvements in fire control methods, and areas of current research are discussed.
