I work in the coal mines just across the BC/AB border from Hillcrest and have been on Mine Rescue since I started. This disaster is still taught to the new rescuers when they start to emphasize the danger possible and how efficient rescue can save lives if the worst case does happen
Correction- once the oxygen was consumed by the fire it was actually carbon monoxide that formed- what miners called “after damp”. Good dissertation though! Of note, the cemetery is now a world heritage site.
Very Good Video👍

I grew up in Coleman, just a few minutes west. Our first home in the Pass was in Hillcrest.
