Efficiency of the N.F.S.
Recent enemy air attacks on Great Britain have provided an opportunity of testing the efficiency of the National Fire Service, particularly in the Greater London area. It has been a test not only of practical fire-fighting, but also of an elaborate system of administration, communications, and control, which had not previously been tried out in battle.
The Fire Service was nationalized in the summer of 1941, and apart from the Baedeker raids, the recent attempt by the enemy to switch the battle of Berlin to London is the first opportunity the N.F.S. has had of justifying its system of unified and centralized control.
