Fire Protection For Airports
The request of the Civil Aeronautical Administration for $l.000.000.000 for construction of a network of 3,000 private and commercial airports to bring air transport service to 1,827 cities instead of the present 286, and the claims of those who are in a position to set the policy that we may expect to see a tremendous increase in planes in commercial and private air transport after the war, should have the serious thought of the fire service. To the best of our knowledge no provisions for fire protection of these new airports or "parks" are included in the government program. If, as it is claimed, these new fields in many cases will be located adjacent to populated areas, it would appear that here will be increased work for the fire service.
