Fire Extinguished with Beer
"The fire was fought and put out more in sorrow than in anger that good beer should be so abused," said the commander of a Glasgow fire fighting unit, which with beer extinguished a fire caused by a Nazi raider. At the time of the fire an adequate water supply was not available, and a lead was taken from fi huge vat of beer in an adjacent brewery.
