1912 North Mount Lyell Disaster
The 1912 North Mount Lyell Disaster (also known at the time as the Mount Lyell Disaster and North Mount Lyell Fire)〔Later references now conflate the North Mount Lyell and Mount Lyell locality names to the ''Queenstown disaster''〕 refers to a fire that broke out on 12 October 1912 at the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company operations on the West Coast of Tasmania. The mine had been taken over from the North Mount Lyell Company in 1903.〔The Peaks of Lyell Fourth Edition, end of chapter 17 ''The Fall of an Empire'' page 161〕
==Start==
The fire started on a Saturday morning, between 11:15 and 11:30 am, when the pump house on the 700 ft level of the mine was reported as being on fire. Only 73 men initially made their way to safety on the first day. Initially the status of the fire, numbers casualties and survivors were confused in the first day or so. Considerable problems occurred removing men from the mine who were still alive. Many became trapped as they were working in remote stopes and didn't know of the fire until it was far too late, as there was no emergency warning system operating in the mine. Instead, men had to run along the levels and drives calling to the men, warning them of the serious danger that faced them. 170 men entered the mine that day. 42 were never to be seen alive again.〔The Peaks of Lyell Fourth Edition, start of chapter 22 ''The Disaster'' page 214〕
