They weren't in the first safety chamber, on WSAZ some guy with the rescue said they are moving onto another chamber now. They also said something about smoke.

Quote:RALEIGH COUNTY, W.Va (WSAZ) - Rescue teams have been pulled out of the Upper Big Branch mine in Raleigh County because of dangerous conditions.

The team entered the mine early Friday morning searching for four coal miners missing since Monday's explosion that killed 25 miners and injured two others.

Kevin Stricklin with the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration says the team experienced smoke and that there could be a fire inside.
