- Following the Cherry Mine disaster, the Illinois Commission on Mine Fire Fighting and Rescue Stations in Coal Fields was created on March 4, 1910. Regional rescue stations were established at LaSalle, Benton and Springfield, Ill.; rescue train cars were equipped for quick mine disaster response; and safety training classes were provided at Illinois mines. When the Illinois Civil Administrative Code of 1917 created the Dept. of Mines and Minerals, the responsibilities for mine rescue were transferred to that Department.
