[i]Three security vehicles, severely damaged by fire, are removed from the perimeter gate at Pad A Launch Complex 39. The three vehicles caught fire when they drove through a liquid oxygen vapor concentration on the pad perimeter while clearing the pad area of personnel during the Apollo 13 Countdown Demonstration Test that morning. The drivers of the three vehicles abandoned their cars when the incidents occurred near a pad perimeter gate about 1000 feet from the Saturn V space vehicle. There were no injuries. Damage was confined to the three vehicles.[/i]
