Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): Firemen learn to fight air raiders as well as fires
extracted text (Extract Text): BY MOUNTING an anti-
aircraft gun on a fire
engine, smoke eaters of
Boston, Mass., recently
demonstrated how their
force could cope with an
enemy air raid. Now
plans’ are reported to
arm a number of other
fire trucks similarly,
and to train gunners
with the cotperation of
the National Guard. In
case the firemen were
attacked by low-flying
raiders, while putting
out a fire started by
air bombs, the powerful
machine gun would
provide an effective de-
fense. Other engines,
roaring along highways
with sirens shrieking,
would serve as mobile
antiaircraft units ex-
clusively, supplement-
ing the work of regular
military defense units.
