水管喷水灭火
Shortly before 1:00 p.m. a housewife in Chatham, N. J., retired with her two children for an afternoon nap. A few minutes later the woman was awakened by an explosion. She looked around and seeing nothing unusual dozed off again. Shortly afterward she was again awakened by a neighbor who told her the house was on fire. The woman got her children out of the house while the neighbor turned in an alarm.
的Chatham Fire Department received the alarm at 1:10 p.m. and responded with Engines 1 and 3 and Ladder 1. Upon arrival the officer-in-charge ordered a booster line with fog nozzle to be taken into the basement while two men, equipped with masks, searched the house for possible victims. He then ordered that another man put on a mask and relieve the nozzle man on the booster line. In the meantime a 2 1/2-inch line was connected to a hydrant, together with two 1 1/2-inch lines which were wyed off a water thief in the 2 1/2-inch line, and used to back up the booster in the cellar.
