MISSILE SILO FIRE AT LITTLE ROCK AFB, ARKANSAS AND FIRE PROTECTION PROBLEMS FOR SPECIAL ATMOSPHERES INCLUDING OXYGEN

Abstract

The study gives an illustrated talk on the Missile Silo Fire at Little Rock, Arkansas. The report emphasizes the need in fire prevention to properly identify hazards involved in the use of materials and recognize inherently hazardous tasks; shows how hazards for welding are increased in an enclosed space by the presence of hazardous materials; and showed why hazard analysis, application of adequate safety standards, and work scheduling procedures are necessary.
