Don't know when it ever got used, although sirens went off many times, we never had any air raids on Accy, never even used the air raid shelter either, which they built in Brigg's Yard, just used it to store bonfire wood.
As food was rationed at the time, where would they have got the food from, where would they have stored it, in the event it was ever needed.
