Hand Cart for Incendiary Squad Carries Water, Sand, Tools

Item

Among the new fire-fighting tools is a small hand cart that carries all the equipment necessary to tackle an incendiary bomb. Its bin contains 200 pounds of sand. You push the cart close to the flaming bomb, tilt it forward to dump a little sand, then pull the bomb into the sand with the long- handled hoe. While you are doing this, the lid of the cart acts as a shield protecting you from the heat. Once the bomb is resting on the sand, more sand is dumped to cover it completely. Then the water tank on the handle of the cart, holding two gallons, is turned over and becomes a sprinkler for extinguishing wood fires started by the bomb. There is also an ax on the side of the cart.
