Description |
English: Air Raid Precautions and Civil Defence on Britain's Home Front- How To Extinguish a Fire Bomb, C 1940 In order to extinguish a fire bomb using a stirrup pump, the best thing to do is wriggle forward on the stomach in order to avoid any fumes from the bomb. It is advisable to put out nearby fires with the jet of water and then direct the spray towards the bomb itself. This photograph demonstrates the way in which the nozzle of the pump should be held. The original caption for this photograph stresses: 'never turn the jet on the bomb!'. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
