Explanation:

While Montag is running for his life, he hears that war is declared. He is nearly murdered by adolescents in a speeding vehicle yet figures out how to escape and even conceal a book in another firefighter's home and bring in a caution so as to occupy his followers.

Finally, he achieves Faber's loft. Faber guides him to escape toward the open nation, where instructors and scholars are living as tramps. Subsequent to putting on something else to occupy the new Mechanical Hound acquired by the police, Montag makes a last dash for the river.
