I also concur with Mr, Pett's idea of suitable look-out towers at points that command a good and effective view of the area; this in my opinion would be more efficient than to have fire patrols out looking for Fires. The brigade in which I served in India had lookout towers and I found them very accurate in giving the exact bearings of the fires With reference to the incendiary bomb the kilo incendiary bomb has been found to penetrate all forms of light roofing such as tiles, corrugated iron, slate, etc. Penetration most probably will be arrested by the top 2 floor, but the bomb will continue to burn for some time and set fire to inflammable materials in its vicinity A reinforced conerete roof six inches thick will assist greatly in resisting penetration. The bomb resting on the concrete would then burn itself out The incendiary bomb generates its own oxygen which makes it rather difficult to extinguish. Sand used on the bomb would prove to be a good extinguishing agent and by the aid of a long shovel this could be carried out. The sand will have a tendency to reduce the glare of the flame. It will also be noticed that the flame will penetrate the sand and come out at the top if there is not sufficient to cover t, Water may also be used to limit the spread of the fire on the outside circle of area. To enable a person to approach the burning bomb non-inflammable dark glasses should be worn to protect the eyes.
