2 STAY HOME
The safest place in an air raid is at home.
If you are away from home, get under cover in the né€arest

shelter. Avoid crowded places. Stay off the streets.

The enemy wants you to run out into the streets, create a
mob, start a panic. Don’t do it!

If incendiary bombs fall, play a spray from a garden hose
(never a splash or stream) of water on the bomb. Switch to a
stream to put out any fire started by the bomb. Switch back to
a spray for the bumb. The bomb will burn for about 15 min-
utes if left alone, only about 2 minutes undera fine water
spray. AJjet splash, stream or bucket of water will make
it explode.

Under raid conditions, keep a bathtub and buckets full of
water for the use of the fire department in case water ‘mains
are broken.

If you have-a soda-and-acid extinguisher (the kind you turn
upside down), use it with your finger over the nozzle to make a
spray. Don’t use the chemical kind (small cylinders of liquid)
on bombs. It is all right for ordinary fires.

But above all, keep cool, stay home.

Choose one member of the family to be the home air-raid
warden—who will remember all the rules and what to do.
Mother makes the best.
