‘PAGE EIGHT THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE FIRE TRUCK FORMS _ SPRAY RAINBOW AS + TT DEMONSTRATES, Shuffs Out Flames of Burning Lake of Oil and Gasoline With Charged Water With a rainbow arching through the spray in which its streams dis- sipated. the LaFrance fire truck brought to the state firemen’s con- vention from Elmira, N. Y., gave a spectacular show of water-throwing power and the subduing of an oil and Sasoline blaze, on the south side lots on Rosser avenue between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, Wednesday evening. The demonstration drew hundreds of persons and the whole block was rimmed in cars, while others drove to the higher ground on the other side of the street so as to get a better view of the test. ‘The truck was placed at a water plug at the Sixteenth street corner, served by a six-inch main with a blind end, as the water system ex- tension continues beyond that only a block or two. The truck thus worked against a vacuum before the test was concluded. Nevertheless, with tips of 1 and 1's inches in service, the truck threw 145 gallons from the smaller and 159 gallons from the larger nozzle, a to- tal of 304 gallons per minute. A pressure of 120 pounds was de- veloped from the hydrant of its own |, accord in these tests.

After the water-throwing test, a thawing device was put on demon- stration on a cake of icc. The device is for use in opening frozen hydrants, for which the ice cake was substi- tuted.
