My father was an army bomb disposal officer in the 1950s and early 60s. At that time, most of his workload was making safe WW2 relics. One of his stories was about the journey back to base after a job. Trundling along in their Land Rover, he and his assistant passed a petrol station and noticed a car on fire on the forecourt. They had fire extinguishers, so they made a sharp turn onto the forecourt and put out the fire. Only afterwards did the possible consequences of adding over 100kg of explosives to a fire on a petrol station occur to either of them.
