Fighting fire bombs and there
by preventing fires is essentially
a job for each citizen. Small
fire bombs are so light that a
single plane can carry hundreds
of them. That is why, during
a concentrated incendiary bomb
attack, each bomb must be dealt
with as soon as possible after
it falls. Otherwise, the hundreds
of small fires started would be
too numerous for any fire brig
ade, whose real job is fighting
fires that have taken hold.
Incendiary bombs may be
large or small but the most
effective one used in air raids
is the "a pound magnesium
bomb, a bullet-shaped projectile
of any color from silver to rust.
The cylinders tail is fin to
guide it so it will land point
foremost.
When the fire bomb strikes a
hard surface, the impact oper-
ates a fuse which ignites the
core of the bomb. Burning at
very high temperature, this
quickly ignites the magnesium
shell, which then burns fiercely.
There is about a minutes splut-
tering during which burning
metal may fly as far as 80 feet
and set fire to anything within
reach. After this, the bomb col
lapses into a pool OF molten
metal which continues to burn

The most potentially dangerous
fire bombs are usually those which
fall on, inside or behind build
ings and not those which drop
to the street or in an open space.
People who rush outdoors to
deal with a comparatively harm
less bomb may return to find
their house on fire. OF course,
if fire bombs fall near a gas tank
or any other place where they
could obviously start dangerous
fire, they should be dealt with
first.
A burning fire bomb cannot
be dealt with in the same way
as an ordinary fire. The most
dangerous thing you can do is
throw a bucket of water over a
bomb or turn a hose full force
on it. officials have given vari-
GUS instructions about the proper
handling of fire bombs but those
who have gone through incendi-
ary attacks agree that throwing
a bucket of sand on the firebomb
is the best emergency method of
smothering it, thereby keeping
it from tossing up bits of metal
and spreading until it has burned
itself out.
Because the bomb may have a
small explosive charge, which
would cause it to burst shortly
after impact, it is well to wait
two minutes after the bomb lands
before putting on sand.
Tomorrow: More about fighting
incendidry bombs.
