#1 My late mother worked for Frontier Oil in Colorado just before WWII, and whenever there was a sticky problem, Frontier would call Adair and he would come up by train from Texas to survey the situation. She remembered that the enginers viewed him as this "young genius" who could fix anything (He was in his 20's at the time).

#2 Rest in peace, Red!
What a giant of a man who died the USA and Texas proud!
He will be missed and this man wrote the book on fighting oil fires.

#3 Folks, this is what you call cheating death.
I expect his last thoughts were the same as Doc Holidays were reputed to be "Damn, they're on"
RIP
