THESE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE A.R.P. OFFICIALS AND THE METROPOLITAN FIRE BRIGADE, AND ARE FORWARDED TO YOU FOR PUBLICATION EITHER IN YOUR DAILY OR WEEKLY PAPER SHOULD YOU DEEM THEM OF EDUCATIONAL VALUE. EVERY AUSTRALIAN SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO IN AN AIR RAID. SHOULD JAPANESE PLANES RAID AUSTRALIA, PREPARATIONS MADE BEFOREHAND WILL PROVE TO HAVE BEEN VERY SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE WHEN COMPARED WITH THEIR VALUE IN SAVING LIFE AND PROPERTY. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY YOU SHOULD MAKE PREPARATIONS NOW, AND LEARN THE THINGS YOU SHOULD DO IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE WARNED OF AN IMPENDING AIR RAID. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS: HAVE YOUR HOSE FIXED TO A TAP, COILED SO THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO TURN ON THE TAP AND RUN WITH THE NOZZLE TO THE FIRE. DON'T FORGET THAT A LIGHT SPRAY PUTS OUT AN INCENDIARY BOMB WHILE A STREAM MAY MAKE IT EXPLODE DANGEROUSLY. SO USE THE FULL STREAM ON FIRES, AND THE SPRAY ONLY ON THE BOMB ITSELF. SHOULD THE FIRE GET OUT OF CONTROL, SUMMON THE FIRE BRIGADE. HAVE A STIRRUP PUMP READY TOO.
