- Description
- Important new instructions--revised July 1942. These new instructions are based on exhaustive research by technicians of OCD and the Chemical Warfare Service, U.S. Army. They represent changes now adopted also by British officials after careful analysis of the results of both this and the old method during actual air raids. Both American and British tests prove that a jet of water, as illustrated below, will knock out the fire bomb in less than one minute--before major fires can get started. Fire (not the bomb) is the chief danger, and a jet of water is the best weapon. Respect the fire bomb but do not fear it ... Post these instructions where they can be seen. Study them ... Understand them ... Memorize them ... Then you will be ready for any emergency.
