Million - Dollar Oil Fire
Smothered by Foamite
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, UP)
— A million-dollar oil fire which
had burned all night in this coast
al city was extinguished shortly
after dawn Saturday.
Foamite—a carbon dioxide ex
tinguisher which “suffocates” fire
by depriving it of oxygen—did
the trick. Two hundred thousand
pounds of foamite in five-gallon
cans arrived from Houston early
Saturday.
The fire-dousing substance was
quickly applied to what was left
of a blaze already near the point
of burning itself out.
At least two of the ten burning
tanks on the General American
tank terminal were of the 80,000
barrel variety.
Such tank farm fires rarely are
dangerous unless great quantities
of gasoline are stored in the area.
Large earthen dams surround the
huge tanks and contain the oil
when tanks give way in the heat.
