Five fires and explosions caused by acetylene generators or acetylene gas cylinders and the action taken by the fire fighters are outlined. Further experiments are needed to determine the fire behaviour of acetylene gas cylinders, the best use of explosion venting and the most relevant extinguishing agents. |
