Anything will burn and
nothing is fireproof This
fact was brought out by
David Bohac, Assistant
Safety Director for lhe
Texas Farm Bureau, Waco,
in a graphic animated fire
prevention demonstration
held Feb 13 at Mt. Vernon
School.
The three things needed to
start a fireair. fuel, and
heat, brightly illuminated as
Bohac plugged in the parts
of his fire triangle board, ca
using the flashing "F-I-R E"
sign He defined fire control
as he removed, (one at a
Ume). the three parte. 1
As part of a discussion on
fire control and the classes
of fire (A BCDi, Bohac
demonstrated taking away
air by smothering lhe flame
of a candle, smothering the
flame of a kitchen fire (pot
of burning grease • ('lass B>
and taking away the air or
oxygen of another Class B
fire a burning gasoline rag
The audience also wit
nessed the burning of steel
isteel wool); the loud
shotgun like explosion of one
drop of gasoline and they
saw the wiring burn inside
the wall and in the attic of
Bohac s model house (Class
C).
With each sequence of
animated and actual fin*
hazard of the various classes
txith inside and outeide the
house and around the farm.
Bohac gave applicable pre
vention and control suggest
ions For fir«f control, Bohac
pointed out that many fires
in the home, vehicles,
equipment and other build
ings can tie extinguished
while in the incipient stage,
provided you have a U-L
approved extinguisher of the
correct size and type
Recharge each portable
extinguisher after each
use He added
