	FS 291 SPECIAL EDITION Published to mark the 80th Anniversary of the formation of the Fire Guard as a separate Civil Defence service, this issue looks at the threat presented by the 1 Kilo German incendiary bomb, the pre-war planning to meet that threat and the many services engaged in tackling the fires that Firebomb Fritz caused. The pre-war fire brigades, with too few men to meet the threat, were reinforced by the newly-formed Auxiliary Fire Service which played a major part in dealing with the heavy Blitz of 1940. Handicapped by different ways of tackling fires, the AFS and local Brigades came together as the National Fire Service, its work supplemented by Fire Watchers, Fire Parties and later the Fire Guard. This 72-page issue is profusely illustrated with photographs, ephemera and insignia of the many men and women who fought against Fritz.
