THE CLOTHMAKER IN PLANT FIR Voluntary employee fire brigades trained to respond quickly and corrective in event of fires have been formed at both mills. E. P. Taylor, Clinton and Clyde Trammell, Lydia, Plant Master Mechanics are Brigade Chiefs. They will direct training of the men on all shifts. Taylor and Trammell attended a week long prevention and control school in Hartford, Conn, last year a to better prepare themselves a s instructors in J the latest fire fighting techniques. Brigademen, w h o will receive training monthly were chosen for their leadership qualities, knowledge and ability to assist in an emer- j gency from all departments I and shifts. s Superintendents Huguley and Roberts wholeheartily endorsed and promoted formation of the brigades. "The human element, as in all I worthwhile endeavors, is most vital to successful fire prevention and control", Huguley said when spe ;ing to Clinton Brigademen last month, "the most efficient fire-fighting equipment obtainable, which we have, is a poor defense against fire unless we have men trained 4.1 a. i : ~ r r: in int; itrciiiiiqutrs ui ine fighting to operate it. There are many cases on record where the combination of good equipment and poor training ended in disaster! Like the scarecrow, the mere t presence of fire extinguisher ? is not enough to ward off p destruction. Our object is to F develop a well-trained group ready to act quickly and effectively, should the need j arise." Superintendent Roberts said when doing preliminary planning on the Lvdia Brigade Program "when one , considers that fire in ordin- j ary combustibles multiplies ] i my nines in vuiume in eight minutes he can more fully appreciate the experience proven statement that ' "the first two to five minutes 1 in fire fighting are often more important than the | next two to five hours", j "Through well-trained people , on the scene to fight the fire in those first few vital minutes of its inception fire } can be controlled and danger ' to lives and property greatly I minimized." "Brigade training will help all of us be- ( come more fire conscious and keep us at a high level of readiness and efficiency." Both Superintendents at the onset of the Brigade Program planning hastened to make it perfectly clear that the Brigades in no way lessens each individual employee's responsiblity for fire prevention and control. The Brigades will be trained groups depending on full cooperation and support of each of us.
