In order to completely eliminate the risk of spilling the exits of the air protection rooms, it is also necessary to combine all basement floors of buildings built in a closed construction with one another by breaking through the fire wall. The use of cover trenches is recommended where there are sufficient open spaces for the installation of trenches in close proximity to the dwellings and suitable basements are not available. It should be noted that cover ditches must always be so far removed from building premises as the building premises are high, otherwise there is a risk of a spillage by debris. Cover trenches must be covered upwards so that the occupants are protected against falling explosives of the flakartillery. Cover ditches for the air protection of the population, however, lose importance in most major cities because there is a lack of sufficient number of open spaces that meet the aforementioned requirements. 3.) Fire defense. The greatest destruction is achieved by incendiary bombs. While the explosive bomb causes a point-by-point destruction in the cities, due to its secondary effects, the fire bomb has caused an extensive destruction of urban areas. In addition, the simultaneous use of explosive bombs and fire bombs has significantly prevented the fight against fires. These combined attacks are therefore due to the greatest effects. - The expansion of firefighting services in terms of personnel and material aspects is therefore of particular importance. This refers not only to the organization of fire-fighting service within the framework of the security and auxiliary service, but also in the same way to the construction of the peace fire brigades.
