Alcohol fires

[NoviVespa]

This was on my home page yesterday. It was a news article that said that alcohol fires pose a problem for firefighters. It said that the foam presently used to fight fires does not work really well on alcohol fires. The fires they are talking about is not anything like a fuel tank on a race car. They are talking about the tankers that ship alcohol in bulk. Now, you know that water dilutes alcohol so it will not burn. But, on the highways, water is not readily available.

They are talking about the tankers that ship alcohol in bulk.

I bet there are thousands of college students that would give the proverbial Left One for one of those.

"Screw the Alpha Gamma Pi kegger, man-Tau Kappa Epsilon's got a TANKER!"
