40-Hour Fire Training Program

Volunteer Fire Brigade and Guests Face Fires at New Training Facilities


Lago recently began a 40-
hour fire training program for
its four teams of volunteer fire-
fighters and Lago Police Lieu-
tenants under the direction of
Jim Boyd, fire chief of Humble's
Baytown Refinery. He is assist-
ed by Lago's Fire Chief Peter
Storey and members of the In-
dustrial Services Fire Section.
Guest trainees during the first
week's training (June 21-25) in-
cluded five government fire bri-
gade members, Shell-Curacao's
fire chief, the personnel assist-
ant of Aruba Chemical Indus-
tries (AC1), and a Creole-Indus-
trial Services representative.
Process and other Lago Po-
lice personnel will also receive
an 8-hour refresher course con-
ducted by Jim Boyd.
The training program is being
conducted on the renovated
Fire Training Ground which in-
cludes facilities to simulate
practically all types of fires in a
refinery.
In addition to classroom in-
struction, the participants re-
ceive instructions in the use of
dry chemical and C02 extin-
guishers to put out fires such as
gasoline strip fire on the ground,
gasoline pan fire, fires in pro-
cess units caused by overhead
flange and pump gland leaks,
wooden building fire, tank fires,
loading rack fires and other
types of refinery fires. The firemen
are also trained in the use of fire
hoses to extinguish tank fires
and spill fires, and in hooking
up airfoam pumper truck, tank


foam wagon and mobile foam
column truck.
While the program included
fire training films, several of the
field practices were videotaped
and played back so participants
can judge their method of at-
tacking fires.
Some new features of the
program include the use of
Scott Air-Pak self-contained
breathing apparatus in a heavy
concentration of smoke in a
smoke house and the new 2000-
Ib. dry cherrical unit.
A demonstration using light
water (an aqueous film forming
foam) as the extinguishing
agent on a large pit fire will be
conducted during the week of
July 12.
Through this refresher course
Lago keeps its firefighting per-
sonnel up to date on the latest
techniques and equipment to
combat all types of refinery fires.

Don't Let an Accident Spoil


Your Child's V cation


Summer holidays are here
again This means that for a
month or so, over 18,800 youngs-
ters of Aruba will be "on the
loose," trying to find something
to do to spend their school va-
cation in the most enjoyable
manner, indoors or outdoors.
We, as parents, should help
them enjoy a happy, but safe
holiday. How, do you ask?
We could begin by looking
out for harmful objects at home,
such as broken glass, rusty
nails. We could make an effort
to spend as much time as pos-
sible with them, playing games


Fun


or giving them advice and hints
in their activities.
When outdoors, children should
be supervised by adults, be it
at camping sites, at the beach,
on sports fields or when just
going for a walk.


Children
city who
experience


are a part of our so-
can learn from the
of their parents.


By convincing them of the be-
nefits of "safety at play" today,
we help mold them into respon-
sible citizens of tomorrow, who
may become more conscious of
"safety at work" as well.

Motor Sport Foundation Starts

Building 800-Meter Drag Strip


Work began recently on site
clearing for an 800-meter long
drag strip near Arikok. The race
track is being built for the
Stichting Aruba Motor Sport
(SAMS), a new foundation that
was constituted on June 10,
1971 through a deed passed by
Notary E. L. Lade.
Projected on property land,
the facilities of the drag strip
will include: the 800-meter long,
16.5 meter wide, drag way to be
built of 4 to 6-inch thick asphalt
cement, a pump island, three
rows of bleachers, two bars, and
parking lots.
The foundation, which is af-
filiated with the U.S. National


Hot Rod Association, has been
formed with the objective to
promote various branches of
sports in the broadest sense.
SAMS' future plans include
expansion of the facilities for
circuit races. Also go-cart races
can be held on the drag way.

The project, which is estimat-
ed to cost approximately FIs.
200,000, is planned for comple-
tion by the end of the year. The
foundation hopes to gather
funds from various drives, lot-
teries, activities and contribu-
tions.

Annuitants Impressed by Growth

Of Refinery They Helped Build


Senior citizens of various dis-
tricts on the island are current-
ly being taken on refinery tours
to give them an opportunity to
see the many recent changes
at Lago. These special tours, or-
ganized recently by Lago's Public
Relations, began with a group
of San Nicolas on June 15.
Since then groups of other dis-
tricts have toured the refinery,
and more are showing interest
to do so. Among the visitors
there are several "oldtimers'
who are Lago annuitants.
During their two-hour visit
last week, a group from Para-
dera toured the refinery and re-
ceived explanations from Sev.
Luydens on the company's mo-
dern and sophisticated instal-
lations. They marveled at the
gigantic 600,000-barel tanks,
the four new furnaces of the
pipestllls, and especially the

The board of the Aruba Mo-
tor Sport Foundation consists
of: Frans Varis, president; Fran-
cisco Croeze, secretary; Silvio
Varis, treasurer; Henny Leo and
Freddy Lopez, board members.
Commenting on the racing
sport, Secretary Croeze says:
"This is an expensive, but not
a dangerous sport, because
drivers and cars must be in top
condition to participate. The
facility is not only for the bene-
fit of racing fans, but it is an
additional attraction for tourists
as well."
The foundation has already ap-
plied for the necessary licenses
to operate the drag way as a
public facility.

plex on the reclaimed land.

Lago's elderly ex-employees
were very much impressed by
the development of the compa-
ny, which they helped con-
struct in the late twenties. One
eighty-two-year old annuitant,
on seeing the "fantastic" chang-
es that have taken place
since then, recalls Lago's early
days when he helped clear the
site for the construction of the
refinery.
Others who were accompa-
nied by their relatives pointed
out with pride certain locations
where they had worked.
Part of their visit included
refreshments at the Esso Club,
where they reminisced over the
"good" old times. Later on they
saw a film on Princess Beatrix'
first visit to Aruba.
