Civilian protection. An effective means of extinguishing a magnesium incendiary bomb is to come up over it with a sandbag protecting the face, then drop the sandbag squarely over the incendiary. The heat burns through the burlap, releasing the sand. The sand covers the entire bomb, checking off the air and extinguishing it
Civilian protection. This volunteer civilian defense worker, an auxiliary fireman, is preparing to extinguish an incendiary bomb. He carries the sandbag before his face to protect him from the molten magnesium sizzling forth like fat from a frying pan. He will drop the whole bag on the bomb, and the heat of the bomb will burn through the burlap, releasing the sand. The sand will then run onto and around the bomb.

Civilian defense. The fire watcher is here shown attempting to control with sand an incendiary bomb which has just fallen. He should use a long handled shovel rather than the one shown and cover the bomb with sand after which it is quickly scooped up into a pail and carried or thrown outdoors where it can do no damage

Civilian protection. Armed with carrier tanks and pressure sprays, these auxiliary firemen are disposing of an incendiary bomb by applying a fine spray of water. This accelerates the burning of the bomb and prevents the fire from spreading

Civilian protection. This spray of water accelerates the burning of the magnesium bomb and cools the surrounding. While this picture serves as a demonstration, it is improbable that such a bomb would be found on a roof like this. Falling from a great height it would burn through and lodge in the upper story
