Firefighters Take the Count—by Geiger
What the future has in store for the fire service was graphically demonstrated in Toronto, Ont., last March when firemen fought a fire at Toronto University. Technicians were called on to use Geiger counters to check firemen for radioactivity following the blaze in which radioactive cobalt in the building was believed released by the fire. It is not inconceivable that radioactive detection devices will ultimately be included as standard equipment on all fire apparatus.
