The usual way of disposing of a fire was, as Tel said, by dropping the
grate.
Para. 29 of said report says:
The driver and guard assisted the responsible officer in dropping the
fire, which
involved using a metal bar to lift the firebars which form the grate
beneath the
burning coal. The burning coal then fell into the ashpan where the guard and
driver pulled it out onto the track.
