The general rule to be always observed is this : Take the quickest and surest mrthoi possible to break the Grenades ttud" Bgatter the contents into the fire. If the ' fire coverelT*hnr''i flat surface, like the walls or floor oi a room, throw the Grenades hard enough to break U*em and scatter their contents into the flre. If the fire can be approached close enough to do s>> take a Grenade in each hand by the neck, 'and with right hand Grenade Lnock ti.o from the left hand, scattering the contents of both into the fire. Should a fi>B occur anloHg soft substances like di apery, a pile of rags, hay, or shavings, where thoy cahhot be approached to break the Grenades into the flattie, break the Grenades into a dish and da<4i the contents upon the fire» These general directions will enable any oi.e to master a fire of even large extent with these Grenades, by exercising a little common sense. N.B.— lt is the gas generated that extinguishes fire. Frequently tests are made by purchasers to satisfy their" Owll curiosity, by end'eaVOtmiv' to extinguishes huge bi>en-airjbpnnre with one CUetittder-tWe dv not claim to excln^nish bon'"* fires, built upion the ground,"' 'With one or two GrenflTdes; A little reflection wifi ""rSaFtfTif™ apparent to any one that when^broken upon such' fire's the largest part of the esthigmala!^ gas Is Cari'ied upward and away from the fire by the strotig draft. Hence all this cla^s of fires require a larger number of Grenades broken at the base of the fire to extinguish h. Nine out of ten actual fires are on surfaces so exposed that they can be readily reached ny the gas, "Whdre the Wall of a room is on fire, btdak the Grenades into the lire as Hear u o base as possible and the gas will be carried upward, and cover a larger area of flame. We do not claim to hs able to control fires that may occur in large bodies of oil, varnisheSj etc*, in tailka or barrels, unless taken at the immediate outset, as these ailld» 4 when subjected to heat are rapidly converted into highly inflammable gases. Hence, e< en when such fires are to all outward appearances extinguished by the Grenades, a suitjciriife degree of heat might still exist to oause spontaneous re-ignition after the fire-exr.ing.ii^luit./ gas has expended its force. - "• " - """* i Do not expect too nlUoh of one Grenade. Use enough" at the beginning to dd the v,o:k promptly and completely. TTi&y are ao cheap that you can afiotd to use them unspaxlngly, The great desideratum is something that is SIMPLE, SUBE, ALWAYS EBADY; tin* will not get out of repair, atid that at the same time can be" effectively used by anyone \yh.j happens to be neat when the fire breaks out. All these requirements are fully met by the fiARDEtf "STAR" HAND GRENADA FIBE EXTINGUISHER, which has already achieved in both America and Europe a great reputation, and has been the means o( saving thousands of pounds.
