Abstract :
Fire in coal mines is quite common and the hazard of fire always looms large. The paper deals with the situation of accidental fire breaking out in a board and pillar working. Although board and pillar has been taken as a particular instance, the idea can be applied to any working district having a different method of extraction. The paper highlights the capabilities of a parallel algorithm, executing in a message-passing multi-processing environment in real-time. The idea appears to be superior to the ordinary procedural algorithm using record type data structures and employing arrays and pointers for search methods as suggested by S. Kozielski (1980).<>
