Tanker fires problem for rural departments....

how long has it been burning: if the tanker
has been burning 10 minutes, evacuate. If
it has been burning less than 10 minutes,
what are the exposures? If the risk is high
to life or property, evacuate. If the risk is
low, what is the water supply? If the water
supply is less than 500 gallons per minute,
evacuate. If the firemen have 500 gallons
per minute, can the water be applied to the, „,
part.of the tanker at the source of the flame
impingement. If it can;_ how quickly can the
water be applied? If it can he applied in
less than five minutes, go in. Maybe you
can prevent an explosion. If water cannot
be applied in less than five minutes,
evacuate.
If firemen do decide to go in, says
Pollock, they should expect the unexpected
such as an. aluminum tank rupturing. They
should follow procedures to cool the top of
the tanker, while looking and listening for
unusual signs of reactivity, such as an
increase in the volurne of fire and noise or
liquid throwing out.
Mop up precautions are also important
said Pollock, pointing out that injuries will
occur after a fire has been distinguished, if
firemen are not careful to distinguish
smouldering • seats in the truck cab and
burning tires. If possible, said Pollock, an
attempt should be made to cut the battery
cables on the truck's motor because they.
. are a source of ignition.
Pollock also reminded the firemen to be
careful where they dispose the contents of
the tanker. If a decision is made to wash it
into the sewer system, contact the
necessary officials. If fire fighters decide to
dam the contents in a nearby ditch they
must control the situation. Vapours will be
present and if an evacuation proceeding,
ringing doorbells to tell eople of the
evacuation could ignite the vapours
present in the air.
Sometimes, said Pollock, a few flying
man hole covers, because the contents
have been washed into a sewage system, is
preferable to, damming the contents in a
ditch and risk blowing up the entire
neighbourhood.
Pollock also told the firemen of an
incident where firemen flushed a gasoline
tank fire with water and pushed the
gasoline back under a horizontal tank
which ignited, blew off its saddles and into
a fire truck. Several firemen were horribly
burned to death.
Pollock said fire fighters have some
knowledge of tank vehicle design. A know-
ledge of the contents carried by tank cars
and trucks in this province is also import-
ant. • !11
Pollock says it is his philosophy "that
those of us who dare to teach or lead must
learn from experience so we do not repeat
lessons already learned".
Hughes guest speaker at Right to Life meeting
The . eleventh annual meeting of W ing-
ham Voice for life was held at St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church in W Ing-
ham on April 24, 1985. An excellent dinner
was served by the ladies of the Presbyter-
ian congregation and entertainment was
provided by the Sacred Heart Folk Choir of
Teeswater. The meeting was chaired by
George Brophy with about 150 people in
attendance.
Sally Campeau, the education chair-
person, introduced the guest speaker, Jim
Hughes, president of Campaign Life
Canada. Mrs. Campeau explained that our
Voice for life chapter belongs to the
educational arm of the Canadian pro-life
• movement, Alliance for Life, whereas Mr.
Hughes is the president of the political arm
of the movement. Oth r affiliated groups,
such as Birthright, have practical and
charitable aims.
Mr. Hughes, as president of Campaign
Life, works at least 60 hours a week without
pay. In his speech, he mentioned the
Campaign for life " has over 100,000
members across the country. Working with
Campaign life, he says, is no easy task, as
it means dealing with politicians, whose
pronouncements are otters egwvocat. rn
addition, the media's coverage of pro-life
issues is not always objective.
Mr. Hughes explained his own enthus-
iasm and active involvement in the pro-life
cause by recalling that he had "waited
patiently for someone to do something and
realized that I was (that) someone.
