Fry, J.F. and Lustig, R.E., 1963. WATER USED IN FIRE FIGHTING. Fire Research Notes 492


ABSTRACT

A study has been made of the quantities of water used in fire fighting by 11 fire brigades during a period of 12 months. Although there were some differences between brigades the general distribution patterns of quantities used were similar. Over 80 per cent of the fires attended were extinguished with 100 gallons or less.
