WW2 Incendiary Bomb Snuffer For Public Use

The description of this photo is:

"Another way of dealing with fire bombs. At the base of this London lamp post an asbestos snuffer together with a face guard and gloves of the same material take the place of the more usual sandbags. The snuffer is dropped over the bomb; the face guard and gloves protect the Fire Watcher."

​The date is probably after the Fire Watchers Order came into effect in September 1940.
