Not very much apparently...This is the
"How to deal with fires caused by incendiary bombs" advice given by
'The British Fire Prevention Committee' issued to the British public in 1918:
"Fires caused by incendiary bombs may be prevented from spreading, regardless of the high temperatures generated at the actual seat of the outbreak, if water be promptly applied in fair bulk, force and continuity, say from a series of buckets energetically thrown, or hand-pumps vigorously worked."
Not a good plan...Water would only fuel the flames. The only way to extinguish an Elektron bomb fire was by oxygen starvation.
