"Air Raid Precautions
A third volunteer unit, known as the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) organization, also formed during the war to help maintain home defence. The ARP recruited some 1,000 volunteers, and trained them in emergency response, first aid, fire fighting, and the extinguishing of incendiary bombs. Based in St. John's, the ARP's mission was to protect the city from enemy attack, perform rescue work, and enforce a permanent blackout. Volunteers scoured the city each night to check windows, doorways, streets, and wharfs for any lighting that could attract the attention of enemy naval vessels or aircraft. Although never called upon to defend St. John's from a major attack, the ARP's blackout duties contributed to the city's protection."
