Give Demonstration
The personnel of RCAF ' Sta-
' tion, Clinton, were shown some
of the fundarnenitels ;of fire
lighting last Wednesday. F/S
Harry Lownds and his able staff
.of nine fire fighters demonstrat-
ed the correct• method` of attack-
ing certain types of fires pend-
ing the arrival of the fire truck.
Three types of extinguishers,
which might be used by the
amateurs, were shown. First, a
portable carbon dioxide cylinder
was used to extinguish t h e
flames from a pan of oil, When
used properly this extinguisher
proves very effective against
inflammable liquidor electrical
Ares.
A second fire was nipped in the
bud by a small dry chemical ex-
tinguisher which is also used a-
gainst electrical or inflammable
liquid. blazes.
Perhaps the most impressive
demonstration was one of what
not to do. An ordinary water type
extinguisher was turned against
a blaziing oil dire, The more
waiter used the more quickly the
/ire spread as flaming oil show-
--ered in all directions.
The arrival of the fire truck,
of course, brings to any conflag-
ration a wide variety of equip-
ment and fire fighting methods
to be used by properly trained
personnel. The water fog tech-
nique was demonstrated' on Wed-
nesday by the Clinton RCAF fire
fighters. Water under pressure
is forced through a special nozzle
at the end of the ;hose line and
emerges as a dense blanket of fog
whichliterally smothers the fire,
Water fog can be used against any
type of fire and according to F/S
Lownds is particularly valuable
in controlling fires inside build-
ing partitions.
At the conclusion of the formal
demonstration, le/S Lownds dis-
mantled the used fire extinguish-
ers to explain how they operat-
ed. He drew on his wealth of
knowledge gained through wide
experience as a fire fighter to
answer numerous questions con-
cerning fire fighting and fire
prevention.
