Sixty-three members of mill fire bri
gades at Fieldcrest’s Eden plants partici
pated in a fire extinguisher demonstra
tion recently at the demonstration
ground adjacent to the Eden filtration
plant.
The use of carbon dioxide extinguish
ers and their limitations in fighting a
large, flammable liquid fire were dem
onstrated, followed by a demonstration
showing the effectiveness of the “knock
down” and extinguishing power of a dry
powder extinguisher on the same type
of fire.
Also demonstrated were the adjust
ments and the effectiveness of a fog
nozzle for a 21/2” hose and the operation
and the effectiveness of a cellar nozzle.
The extinguisher demonstrations, con
ducted each year during Fire Preven
tion Week, include a review of fire
fighting techniques and equipment. The
sessions are a part of the over-all train'
ing of the fire brigades who are r®'
sponsible for fighting fires that occur a
the mills, backed up of course by ®
fire departments in the community.
