types of bomb, an ex- plosive bomb, an incendiary bomb, a gas bomb. Precau- tions against fire will be described and the way to deal with incendiary bombs and fires generally under the heading "What to do if fire breaks out."

If your refuge-room is on the ground floor or in the basement, you can support the celling with wooden props as an additional protection. The Illustration shows a way of do- ing this, but it would be best to take a builder's advice before set- Ling to work.
