Briton Explains Latest Method
Of Combating Fire Bombs
Says Spray Use Was Stopped When Foe
Started Concentrating on One Area

The enemy's increasing ability to
concentrate its fire bombs over a
restricted area forced Britain to
change its t1re-fighting policy along
the same lines as those announced
this week by the national Once of
Civilian Defense, London fire.
fighter explained here yesterday.
Even in the days of the great fire
raids, said Chief E. A. Kirby, in
cendiary bombs were scattered over
wide area The chances were
that not more than one would fall
in a single house. In those days,
he said, using a spray of water to
control the bombs was an effective
enough method. sse
1y various methods, he went on.
thu enemy has been able to bring
about such a great concentration
that hsf.a dozen incendjaries might
hase to be dealt with by the same
individual or group at the same
time.
while you were performing q
nice little operation on one bomb,
the other fire would have started
uncomfortable fires," he declared in
explaining why Britain adopted the
faster method Of combating bombs
by shooting stream of water at
them. Russia, he said, had had the
same experience.
Firemen Alone Ineffective.
The fire chief, whose original mis-
sion to the United States was to
escort collection of paintings done
by artists turned fireman, arrived
Immediately after war was declared
and since then has been advising

he said neither London with all its
equipment nor any city he had yet
visited, including Washington, could
rely on its fire department alone to
fight the ravages of incendiary raids.
German bombers, he said, can
carry 1000 fire bombs. If six bomb
ers could slip through the county's
outer defenses they would be carry
ing $4,000 potential fires. The usual
average OF effectiveness is 10 per
cent, or 1900 fires from six bombers.
He emphasized that British civil
ians had found nothing to be afraid
OF in the new method of combating
incendiaries. -.

People More AdaptabIs. r. 7
Asked how British people kad r.
acted to the changed instructions for
dghting incendiaries, he said the
war had done much to the adapta-
bility Of the people as the altering
tactics Of the enemy have forced
changes in policy.
AS an example Of a complete re-
versal Of policy. he cited the advice
originally handed out about going
to shelters on the AFRAID alarm.
During an 18 months preparatory
period before the war and for some
months thereafter, all industry was
ordered to cease on receipt of a
warning. AS no bombs were dropped
and precious hours of industrial
effort lost, England was forced to
revise that policy.
They often say it's about time
some people made up their blessed
minds" he smiled, "but the whole
OF our experience has been trial by
error" ..
