Personnel assigned to the Air Force Reserve's 910th Airlift Wing and government contractors gathered for the test of a High-Speed Deluge System mounted above a work table in a munitions processing building here, March 24. The system, the first of its kind installed on an U.S. Air Force installation, is designed to react to an extreme heat source on the table within one hundred milliseconds, or one-tenth of a second, by spraying approximately 300 gallons of water to extinguish any accidental ignition of munitions to protect personnel and property. The test was successful.
