FIRE AT KANATAK
DOES DAMAGE TO
ASSOCIATED PLANT
A fire, which originated in a cor
rugated iron shed adjoining the boil
er house near the derrick of the As
sociated Oil Company, threatened
for a time to seriously cripple the
plant.
The shed was used to house the
engine and generator, which furnish
ed the lights for the camp, and pow
er for the wireless plant, and also for
the storage of residue.
A spark plug was being tested on
top of the engine, when a spark ig
nited some gasoline on the engine.
The flames leaped to a pool of wat
er on the floor containing gasoline.
In a few second the shed full of oil
soaked residue was a mass of flames.
A barrel of gasoline outside the shed,
connected with the engine by a feed
pipe, next ignited but did not ex
plode. The fire soon spread to the
boiler house where piles of residue
are stored near the boiler.
Efforts to extinguish the flames
were failing when the safety valve
on the boiler let go, causing a stam
pede among the fire fighters. # \
The escaping steam from the boil
er soon smothered the flames. It
was later found that the intense heat
from the burning oil soaked residue
had melted the fittings on the safe
ty valve allowing the steam to es
cape.
The fire caused little damage ex
cept to char the framewTork of the
iron buildings and to damage the
wiring on the generator. Work has
been resumed. There was very lit
tle wind which kept the tlames
away from the derrick.
