Firemen to Study Air Raid Conditions
Two Battalion Chiefs and a firemen front the New York City Fire Deepartment left New York recently to fly to London via the Clipper to study fire fighting in air raids.
These men are being assigned active service to obtain experience and information in fighting fires under aerial bombardment conditions. The men are expected to remain in the British capital for five or six months to study every possible aspect of fighting air raid fires. They are expected to report back from time to time to Fire Commissioner J. J. McElligott, and when sufficient information is compiled, they will return.
