extracted text (Extract Text): WATER JAVELINS that spray fog inside
burning planes, and hand or tractor-drawn
equipment trucks comparing favorably with
full-size apparatus, are used by North Amer-
ican Aviation, Inc., to save flyers’ lives, com-
bat fires, and decontaminate areas affected
by gas. Notified by pilot's radio of an im-
pending crash landing, asbestos-clad fire
fighters are rushed to the scene, and within
seconds can thrust the nozzles of water
javelins through plane fabric into crew com-
partments to lay down a wetting spray. The
truck can pump 150 gallons under 600-pound
pressure in less than nine minutes.
