A. L. Lee Ships 1st LifeShelter

On Tuesday, the first underground rescue chamber that will be used in a West Virginia mine was shipped from A.L. Lee Corp.’s manufacturing facility in Mabscott.

In the event of a mining accident, the chamber is designed to provide a safe haven for trapped coal miners, giving rescuers four days to reach them.

The first chamber is destined for the Sentinel Mine in Philippi, an underground operation belonging to International Coal Group.
