71-03: Fire Protection and Cooling Towers

Thank you, Mr. Puckorius. It is especially good to be asked 
to discuss fire protection in cooling towers at this meeting. Any chance we have to go over mutual problems and add to understanding is sure to be worthwhile. 
Our organization. The Factory Mutual Engineering Association, 
is owned by a group of insurance companies and we are always trying to protect their assets. Some of you may feel this is the only reason we make some of the recommendations we do but let me assure you that's not the case. We're concerned about our customers' property -conservation and fully realize that having no losses preserves property and profits, as well as keeping average insurance rates down.
