Paul Cashion accomplished some
very effective fire fighting.
The fire occurred while a truck
was unloading gasoline into the
station’s storage tanks. The tank
Mascot overflowed ot the vent and the
American gasoline spread over the station
pavement and the sidewalk.
Suddenly the flowing gasoline
caught tire and the whole area in
front of the station was enveloped
in flames.
Paul Cashion. with .1 home type
fire extinguisher, and with ap
parent disregard for liis own
safety, had the fire partially un
der control when the firemen ar
rived and completed the Job.
It the fire had continued until
an explosion of the storage tanks
or tank tru.ck occurred, a most
disastrous fire would have been
the result.
Considerable damage was done
to the front of the statiou build
