Fire Fighting Equipment for Bulk users of Lubricating & Electrical Oils, PART ONE

These articles have been written with the primary object of fighting fires in Power Stations and mainly those that can occur due to outbreaks from leaking lubricating oil systems and transformer and switch gear units. But the methods and equipment outlined are similarly applicable to all oil fires and will be of interest to all industrial bulk users of lubricating and electrical oils. In this part, the author covers automatic methods and describes the “Mulsifyre” system in detail. In the second part, in our next issue, he will deal with Fire Pumps, Portable Appliances, and Extinguishing Methods using Carbon Dioxide, Foam, and Dry Chemicals.
