"The St. Louis Ordnance Plant, 4300 Goodfellow Blvd., is one of the safest industrial establishments in the city and has a number of safety awards to prove it. But yesterday the United States Defense Corporation, one of the contractor operators of the plant, observed Fire Prevention Week by starting a series of roaring fires, and then speedily putting them out. Purpose of the demonstration was to show key personnel the proper handling of fire extinguishers and the correct type to use under varying conditions."
