“Analysis Of Bulk Plant Fire” is a black-and-white film created by the American Petroleum Institute circa 1960 and narrated by John A. Ainlay. The film begins with news footage from a 1959 petroleum bulk plant fire in Kansas City, Missouri, and an explanation of events that led up to the fire. (The accidental fire began, we are told at mark 02:58, as gasoline was being transferred into a tanker. The fire spread to the service station and adjacent tankers.) Six firefighters were killed. The news footage (from local station KMBC begins at mark 05:07, with one of the station’s newscasters providing a narration as thick, black smoke chokes the air and crews desperately worked to extinguish the blaze. A fireball fills the screen at mark 07:51 as the flames reach a tanker. The news footage ends and at mark 11:30, Ainlay reminds the viewer that the events were “an unbelievable coincidence” of events that led to the catastrophe, and at mark 12:12 retraces and carefully analyzes each step that led to the fire. The film also examines new measures that could avoid similar disasters, including pressure-release devices, which are demonstrated beginning at mark 19:10. On August 18, 1959, a catastrophic gasoline fire broke out at a bulk plant during a tank truck filling operation, captured on film by Kansas City’s KMBC. The plant, built in 1927 under older safety standards, had a loading rack dangerously close to storage tanks, and a faulty valve allowed gasoline to overflow, fueling the fire. Despite firefighters’ efforts, several tanks ruptured due to pressure buildup from intense heat, not explosions inside the tanks, leading to a deadly blast that killed six firefighters. The tragedy resulted from a chain of avoidable factors—including ignition from a cigarette lighter, valve failures, limited firefighter access, and ineffective firefighting tactics that pushed burning fuel under tanks. Modern safety devices like automatic shutoff valves, heat-actuated emergency valves, and pressure relief vents could have prevented the disaster. The incident underscores the critical need for proper plant design, effective firefighting strategies, and thorough pre-fire planning to minimize risk and improve emergency response. 0:00 – On August 18, 1959, KMBC filmed a dramatic gasoline fire at a bulk plant. 1:53 – The fire began during gasoline loading at a plant with four large tanks. 3:43 – Several tanks ruptured, worsening the fire. 4:09 – An explosion hurled a tank 94 feet, killing six firefighters. 5:01 – The disaster was caused by a rare chain of failures. 7:51 – Explosions trapped and fatally injured firemen. 8:52 – Injured firefighters were rushed to hospitals; six died. 10:00 – Property damage was severe; human loss was devastating. 10:57 – Final explosion engulfed firefighters in flames on film. 12:01 – Key lessons come from all contributing factors in the fire. 12:11 – The plant, built in 1927, didn’t meet modern safety standards. 12:27 – Loading rack was too close to tanks, increasing risk. 13:20 – Fire started during filling; ignition source linked to a cigarette lighter. 14:00 – A faulty valve allowed gasoline overflow, fueling the fire. 14:29 – Modern racks have automatic shutoff devices to prevent overflow. 15:22 – Firefighters couldn’t close valves due to access issues. 16:08 – Fighting tactics pushed burning fuel under tanks, worsening the fire. 16:51 – Proper tactics: attack from tank sides, cool tanks, close valves. 17:46 – Heat-actuated emergency valves could have stopped fuel flow. 18:11 – Tanks ruptured due to pressure buildup from heat, not explosion inside. 19:00 – Pressure relief vents prevent tank ruptures by releasing excess pressure. 20:52 – Older tanks lacked sufficient relief vents; modern tanks improved. 21:27 – Multiple factors, including ignition and valve failures, led to disaster. 22:10 – Firefighters’ access and tactics could have been better to control fire. 22:27 – Cooling tanks and side attack reduces rupture risk. 23:06 – Post-fire analysis highlights challenges of decision-making during fires. 23:23 – Stresses importance of pre-fire planning and emergency preparedness. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
