‘ Know What To Do
Before Arrival
Of Fire Fighters:
The national defense program
and hazards of war bring home
to everyone the horrors of fire.
Special training in fire fighting
is being given all over the coun-
try.
There are different types of
fires, many having their origin in
the home owner's carelessness, and
therefore preventable. But once
fire starts, every man, woman or,
child should know what to do to
: combat it immediately.
There are three different kinds
‘of fire ~— insurance experts call
i them class
lClass A fires are

those which
occur in ordinary combustible ma-
wood, etc. Class
B fires are fires in inflammable

fighting, use water and plenty of
When you come to Class B fires,
you have a much more difficult,

ter may do more harm than good.
Such fires usually involve oil or‘
grease in some sort of containmg

special extinguishing equipment.
You may use water on oil-soak-
ed rags or a small oil spill fire.
but it's best to-use a fine spray
of water, not a heavy stream.

off your feet: if the voltage is
high, it may kill you. So you must

[ger car, Fire Chief Dean Carmen
[declared today. Motor vehicles i
,classified as common and private
carriers are required by law to be
equipped with fire extinguishers,.
but no such rules exist for the
private car owner.
“Fires in motor vehicles areire-
sponsible for about ten per cent
of all fire alarms,” the Chief said. [
,“It is not uncommon for a gen-l
‘eral alarm to be sounded, calling [Knight wggests
three or four pieces of fire ap—
paratus, for a burning car. When
we get there, a squirt from a fire
extinguisher or a burst from a
fog nozzle on a booster line. puts
the fire out. The operator of the
car could do the same thing him-
self with less delay, if he carried
a fire extinguisher on his car. Fire
Prevention Week is a good time
to recall this fact to mind."
causes of car fires as breaks in
the gasoline line, faulty ignition
“Another reason for carrying]
extinguishers on motor vehicles,”
the Chief explained, “is the assist~
ance motorists may be able to
give those trapped in car acol—
dents. There are countless cases
on record where fires have been
extinguished and lives saved by
persons happening upon other
motorists involved in wrecks. All
fire apparatus and most police
cars are equipped with fire ex-
tinguishers of one kind or another
for Just such emergencies, and
the more private cars so equipped
the better. Naturally, these ex-
tinguishers have to be cared for
and kept in working order.”
