August 2, 1993

I was asked to do a safety inspection around the top floor of Allyn, and noticed that the fire extinguishers were all type A, pressurized water suitable for putting out paper and wood fires. While there were plenty of those items around the art studios, a type A is not recommended to put out solvent fires, and the printing and painting studios were loaded with containers (open and sealed) of kerosene, alcohol, turpentine, mineral spirits, and other fun highly flammable liquids. I arranged for more suitable extinguishers to be installed.
