| Google found for me : Instructive Fire-fighting Demonstrations. ON. the second Thursday in every month the Pyrene Co., Ltd., Great West Road, Brentford, holds a comprehensive demonstration of firefighting, involving actual fires of different kinds, when practically every known form of fire protection is used. The appliances employed range from various classes of hand fire extinguisher to major units, such as the Pyrene foam-making branch-pipes and trailer fire-engines. The fires represent those to be encountered on road vehicles, in large and small industrial organizations, at electrical generating stations and at oil-storage depots. The equipment on the demonstration ground includes a replica of an electrical sub-station and a section of an oil tank 30 ft. in diameter. The demonstrations are interesting, instructive and spectacular, and anyone desiring to witness them can obtain permission to attend by writing to the company at the address given above Originally printed on the 17th february 1939 http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/17th-february-1939/34/of-the-week-continued-sir-william-hart-accommodate Sounds fun .
