BRITAIN’S FIRE GUARDS
DUTIES COME TO AN END RUGBY, (Mar. 22. All fire guards in Britain will: stand down from Saturday next. Stating this in the House of Commons, the Home Secretary and Minister for Home Security. Mr Herbert Morrison, said: “Should enemy attacks against this country make •it necessary, I am sure the fire guards will again resume duty promptly if called upon. Fire guard duty has been irksome, but of inestimable value to the country. I should like to acknowledge the debt we owe the fire guards for their constant vigilance in the defence of our industries and homes.” Mr Morrison added that it would still be necessary to maintain a reasonable standard of civil defence arrangements in establishments which already had such arrangements.
