Kingsley firemen, along with others throughout the coun ty, made a special educational effort for fire prevention during the week. arge Kingsley Field Fire Crew Well Equipped For Dangerous Work Klamath County's largest fire department covers one of the mallest areas geographically. But the area Kingsley Field is a vast array of complex, expensive equipment in constant danger from volatile fuels and complicated electrical equipment. r ires at the installation are few and far between, but when they come, they are likely to be hot and dangerous. 10 extinguish these lues, or prevent them when possible, is the job of the 55-man Kingsley Field Department. The department is part of the U.S. Air Force and 48 of the men in the department are enlisted Air Force personnel. There are seven civilians in the department, w hich is led by Chief Howard Larman, himself a civil Quints Four Weeks Old ABERDEEN'. S.D.

(UPD- Marguerite Higgins, diplomatic correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune since 1956 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, has joined the staff of the Long Is. land newspaper Newsday, News day President and Publisher Har ry F. Guggenheim announced Saturday. service employe. Larman is aid ed by assistant chiefs Kenneth VanArsdale and Jim Paxton, both civilians, and Sgt. Richard Gray, in charge of the Air Force per sonnel. Another civilian is Fred Barmore, who serves as fire in spector. The Kingsley Field department is one of the youngest in the area, having been formally organized in 1937. Besides fire prevention and sup pression at Kingsley, the depart ment is also responsible for fire training and prevention at three radar sites away from the field. To fight the severe fires which may break out suddenly at the Air Force installation, the depart ment maintains three major pieces of equipment and numer ous other smaller pieces. The three major pieces arc 1,000 - gallon pumpers, equipped with water cannons and outside nozzles so they may move in close to a fire while keeping men pro tected inside the truck. Each of these trucks, in addition to 1,000 gallons of water, carries 100 gal-1 Ions of fire-suppressing foam and 40 gallons of "CB," another fire suppressant. Airplane crashes arc the realm of the Ofi Crash Truck, w hich car ries 4,000 poiuids of carbon diox ide for dousing aircraft fires in quick order. In addition, there are two pump ers which carry only 150 gal lons of water each, but which are capable of pumping 750 gallons of water a minute from outside supply. Another specially - equipped ve hicle is a rescue truck equipped with saws, cutting torches and other gear for cutting into a crashed plane to free persons in side. And still another special truck carries 200 pounds of Carbon diox ide and 40 gallons of CB. This truck is used for stand-by while jet planes arc started. The final piece of equipment is a 1,000 gallon tanker which is used for emergency water supply. This tanker also carries 100 gallons of foam. Another machine used by the fire department in emergencies, but not regularly assigned to the department is a huge crane, ca pable of plucking jet planes weigh ing hundreds of tons off a runway and carrying them to another part of the field. This vehicle is brought into action in case planes have to be moved quickly without time to start them. The fire-fighting power of the Kingsley Field department was demonstrated Wednesday morning in a mock emergency drill at the field's main hangar. Upon the alarm of a fire in the hangar, the huge building's sprink ler system was turned on and the giant crane went into action, car rying planes out. The fire trucks rolled, as did those of the Klam ath Falls and Suburban fire de partments, demonstrating the mu tual aid principle.
