Fire-Fighting Musts At
A National Emergency

drive, short ma-
chines with high ground and
light rubble. Probably it
will be necessary to have
bulldozers reopen streets,
dam up streams and tow
trucks over rough ground so
the problem of locating them
and their operators immedi-
ately after an attack and
bringing them to bear on the
of keeping fire
mobile are an im-
portant part of fire planning.
Escape routes must be kept
open so that if the fire gets
of control or substantial
fallout begins, fire fighters
can leave rapidly. Access for
fire trucks arriving from out-
lving cities and districts must
also be provided as quickly
The of explosives to
destroy buildings and create
fircbreaks in the path of a
spreading conflagration has
been repeatedly tried, as in
the San Francisco fire, but it
has rarely, or perhaps never,
been successful. In some cas-
es it has actually spread the

were meant to be protected.

sufficient explosives at prop-

fective. In retrospect they
feel that the blasting of ar-
tifical firebreaks is not sound
practice and this opinion is
confirmed by British fire de-|
partment experience.
Because the central areas
of the great fires in Germany
and Japan were beyond the
capabilities of the fire de-
partments, it should not be
assumed that the firemen
fought in vain. On the con-
trary, outside the perimeters
they established they were
able to perform useful ser-
vice in fighting individual
fires. As always, they found
that it was necessary to work
inside buildings and attack
fires floor by floor. Although

results. Individual buildings,
blocks, whole districts were

have been destroyed and
tens of thousands of people
are indebted to the fire de-
partment for their homes—
and perhaps their lives.
The fire companies have
special virtues which aren’t
needed in their peacetime
operations and consequently
may not be generally appre-
ciated. They are nuclei of
trained and disciplined men
with know-how and equip-
ment around which volun-
teer help can rally. Willing
amateurs who make a nuis-
ance of themselves in peace-
time when the professionals
are working on a restricted
fire will be invaluable
supplemental manpower af-
ter an attack when fires will
have to be fought around-
the-clock under very difficult
conditions. Extra help will
be especially useful in doing
the chores associated with
rubble clearing in rescue,
work and to open streets.
