Fire prevention.
Fotograf Escher F.
Moreni, 08.1926
What is truly remarkable about this photograph is the fire suppression system mounted on the wooden derrick. You can see a system of pipes mounted on the turret from which steam can be released in opposite directions under pressure. This will extinguish the wooden derrick that has caught fire and will form a steam curtain that will prevent the fire from being supplied with oxygen.
