§ Mr. H. MorrisonFor the benefit of those who have installed chemical fire extinguishers permission has recently been given to the Fire Extinguisher Trades Association to issue a memorandum about the use of soda acid and water and carbon dioxide extinguishers on incendiary bombs and resulting fires. Arrangements are also being made for the manufacturers to attach to soda acid and water and carbon dioxide extinguishers authorised labels stating in what circumstances the extinguishers may safely be used on incendiary bombs.
