Abstract：Mine roadways are narrow,confined spaces,characterized by rapid smoke spread,dis-rupted ventilation systems,and significant challenges in firefighting and rescue during fires.This paper systematically reviewed the technological advancements in emergency rescue for mine road-way fires,focusing on fire thermodynamics,detection techniques,response techniques,and rescue exercise technologies.Theories of fire development and smoke movement in roadways were ana-lyzed,the thermodynamic disaster characteristics under different ventilation methods and roadway forms were clarified,and the challenges of rescue operations in high-temperature smoke environ-ments were expounded.Detection and monitoring technologies and equipment used during rescue operations were summarized,and techniques and methods for smoke flow regulation,automatic fire suppression,and manual firefighting in roadways were reviewed.The current status of firefight-ing training,equipment deployment,and auxiliary decision-support technologies was also dis-cussed.Finally,the development trends of mine roadway fire technology in China are proposed.At the theoretical level,full-scale experimental studies on fire development,smoke flow control,and fire suppression in roadway networks should be strengthened to enhance technical validation un-der real fire conditions.At the equipment level,the development of intelligent detection and fire-fighting equipment should be accelerated,and coordinated research on ventilation control and fire suppression should be promoted,and emergency rescue decision-support systems integrating big data and artificial intelligence should be developed.In terms of rescue training,it is necessary to strengthen the combination of practical firefighting operations and virtual scenario drills to improve the emergency rescue capability of rescue teams.This review provides new directions for improv-ing the level of emergency rescue technology.
