The information sent by ARP wardens would be reviewed and the necessary emergency services sent to deal with the incident. Wardens telephoned in incidents but also filed forms which in the event that the telephone network was down were delivered by Messengers (often teenagers from the scouts or similar groups). A high number of women were taken on to receive and transmit accurately oral, written and telephone messages and also record and report on the progress of air raids.
