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.
