I should imagine the air raid wardens by sounding an air raid siren!

Air Raid Wardens
People went to air-raid shelters to shelter from bombings during the Blitz.
On September 25th, 1939, Germany terror bombed the city of Warsaw, Poland. Historically, this was the first 'blitz' air raid upon a civilian population, with an estimated 1150 bombing sorties made by the Luftwaffe, dropping approx 500 tons of explosives and 72 tons of incendiaries in the Warsaw Blitz. So, in answer to your question, Germany started the Blitz

The war began when England declared war on Germany since they invaded Poland , Which was on 7 September 1939 , A Day after France also declared war on Germany (8 September 1939) . The first six months of the war was called The Phoney War because there was no action . After The Blitz Came Along (In Germany Blitz Creek means Lightning War, That's where we get the word 'Blitz' from) The Blitz is when Adolf Hitler dropped bombs for 73 nights in a row! More then 63,000 people dead, Luckily some got in a air raid shelter , And even some got even luckier after being told the air raid is full , and then the air raid gets bombed it self! And everyone in there died! Hope This Helped ;)

The Blitz started as part of the invasion of Poland. On September 25th, 1939, Germany terror bombed the city of Warsaw, Poland. Historically, this was the first 'blitz' air raid upon a civilian population, with an estimated 1150 bombing sorties made by the Luftwaffe, dropping approx 500 tons of explosives and 72 tons of incendiaries in the Warsaw Blitz.
The longest night of the Blitz!
Absolutely. Not on purpose, animals were not targeted. But the Germans were dropping bombs on blacked out cities. Pets were not allowed in air raid shelters. Wild birds, squirrels and rabbits and so on had no idea where to go or what to do. The blitz was indiscriminate in its violence and any living thing could be killed by it. I believe I remember that the London Zoo happened to be hit in one raid.
It is odd that there is no agreed figure. Many online sources give a figure of about 554 for the air-raid of 14-15 November 1940.
