The mine rescue station superintendent shall cooperate with the State Mine Inspector, management of the mine, and State and federal organizations to such extent as is necessary for the protection of human life in the mine during such time as members of the State mine rescue teams are underground and while there is a reasonable expectation that persons in the mine may be alive.
