Rasbash, D.J. and Stark, G.W., 1959. THE EXTINCTION OF POOL FIRES BY WATER SPRAY WITH HAND-CONTROLLED NOZZLES. Fire Research Notes 304
ABSTRACT
An account is presented of tests on the extinction of 8 ft diameter pool fires of oils by water sprays applied by an operator from spray nozzlss on a hand line. The mechanism of extinction is similar to that of a fixed nozzle installation, the cooling of the oil by the spray predominating. The improvement in the performance of the operator with the number of fires tackled is of the same form as that observed in learning and training in other fields.
