Heroic Supt and Assistant Die Saving Persian Oil Station
At the Anglo-Persian Oil Company pumping station at Airwax in Persia, the superintendent and his assistant sacrificed themselves to stop a high pressure valve leak. The superintendent turned off the oil supply through a burning shower of oil and was engulfed by flames, dying soon after. The assistant, after closing pumps, escaped a window but found his colleague mortally burned near the boilers and died shortly thereafter.
