Summary: A comic presentation of the correct procedure for extinguishing incendiary bombs.
Description: Father comes home and informs his daughter that he is to give a lecture on fire bomb fighting, having learnt all about it from the manual. He goes through the procedure listing the necessary equipment - a shovel, a rake, a water pump - and emphasising the need for a clear head. A fire bomb really hits the house and, while father panics, mother and daughter, who have regularly attended training practice, correctly and efficiently extinguish it.
