What is a serious hazard of coal mining?
Fire and explosion. Coal mines contain methane gas, which is very flammable. There are also health hazards from breathing coal dust.

What type of coal is mined in Virginia?
I don't know a lot about it, but there are a lot of coal power plants, probabley to use the coal for some kind of energy source (like they use to do on old trains where they put coal in the fire.

When was the self rescuer for coal mining invented?
It was invented by a German submariner in the 1940's and was intended to be used aboard submarines in the event of a fire producing a high content of CO, it was not introduced into coal mining in Britain until the 1960's and had it been introduced sooner would no doubt have saved lives. Hopcalite is the chemical constituent that turns CO into CO2 which can be respirated, the average self rescuer will last for approximately an hour, allowing egress from a potentially dangerous mining environment after a fire where a high concentration of CO is present.

What could be a way to stop a huge fire started by coal?
It depends on how big the area and supply of coal. As one example, a trash fire caught a coal seam on fire in 1962 in Centralia Pennsylvania. The fire followed the seam underground, catching the entire coal mine on fire. The coal mine was under the entire town of Centralia, and the underground fire has basically closed the whole town because, to this day, the fire continues to burn. Bituminous Coal, a softer coal than Anthracite Coal, burns very hot. Bituminous coal has been used for home heating, for energy in mills and steel plants, and other industries. There is no easy way to stop a "huge fire" fed by coal. NOTE: Coal would not start a fire, but it would definitely feed a fire.
When did coal mining start?
Coal mining began in Pre-History of the Human Race. Some of the oldest cave paintings in the world are drawn by coal. Hunter Gatherers would often identify coal at the land surface level, following by digging deeper if necessary. Populations rapidly found use for coal. Portable Fire, creation of tools, hunting instruments, and food preparation tools among thousands of other uses evolving uses as the Human Race evolved. It is common for Indigenous Americans to use coal as Animal and Human Body / War Paint. Ancient Egyptian Calligraphy scribed some 2,000 years BC has provided written records of large scale coal mining. Coal ash was used to settle the stones of the Great Pyramids, for example.

What are some dangers in mining coal?
Dangers can include fire/explosion, cave-ins of underground mines, flooding, inhaled rock and coal dust, noise from mining equipment, electric injuries (most underground equipment is electrically driven, and having a chunk of the rock ceiling fall on you. Being struck by equipment is a hazard, and when working narrow seam coal, developing "Miner's knee" for working on your knees- not enough room to stand up. I inspect coal mines, and these are some of the areas I look for.
