More excitement this morning when our M.T. Section had their first fire. Damage was slight thanks to prompt action by helpers who were rapidly on the scene and an old tarpaulin cover, some odd spare parts and some old tyres formed the main loss. However, it's an ill wind….. for this small outbreak has put us on our guard.
Fire fighting appliances were distributed in greater numbers to all sections of the camp, fire alarms were mounted at vantage points throughout the camp and a Fire Master has been appointed to arrange for rules and regulations to be drawn up, as well as the appointment of a regular fire-fighting crew which will mount the fire-tender for any further outbreaks, as well as doing normal duties on this tender for aircraft.
