§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Home Secretary whether he is satisfied that adequate arrangements have been made in all Government Departments to provide an efficient emergency service for putting out fires in the event of damage from incendiary bombs in an air raid; and to what extent departments rely on their own initiative, or on the assistance of the Auxiliary Fire Service in this connection?
§ Captain CrookshankIn Government buildings of importance fire protection is normally provided day and night by voluntary squads from among the staff, who have been trained and equipped to deal with incendiary bombs. They are instructed to seek assistance from the Auxiliary Fire Service if a fire becomes too serious for them to control, and suitable liaison arrangements have been made to this end.
