Burham Mines

The Burham Mines, known before the War as Eagle's Rock mine complex, is a coal mine in Burham Springs.
==Overview==
In 2247, the 5th Engineering Company under Maj. Robert "Border" Briggs blew up the mines to wipe out a powder gang that took shelter within. The explosives set up around the mine reached all the way down the mineshafts, causing the powder stockpiles to detonate. A chain reaction ensued, result in a massive coal fire throughout the area, which then ignited oil and coal dust polluting the nearby waterways. The fires continued, fueled by the partially-tapped coal veins. A combination of pollution, radiation, and other factors caused the surviving civilian population to mutate into gehennas. The NCR pulled out of Burham Springs, leaving it to burn.
By 2253, Burham Springs has been on fire for years, with no sign of going out. The hidden Agricola facility and its robots are capable of putting the fire out, allowing Governor Dodge to re-establish the NCR present in the northeast and ease tensions with New Canaan. However, to do so, the Prisoner would have to install the Agricola Fire Suppression Module on the central computer in the AGRICOLA Lab beneath the mines, after recovering it from the Grand Canyon or hacking the main computer to force the use of the incomplete backup version.
On the other hand, the Brotherhood of Steel is aware that there's technology lying around in the Burham Springs mines and want . They want to prevent it from being distributed throughout the wastes. While the "core" Brotherhood wants to reclaim the tech and leave salvagers alone, the Circle has different plans: Kill the salvagers and blow the mines up, so that the technology cannot be recovered at all.
