The booster had solid propellant and they only burn for 3.5 secs if I remember right, when they fall off they pull a cable/lanyard that ignites the main rocket body. Nike sites in Germany went to Crete, Greece for a live fire of the missile, we also fired a Nike Ajax missile there, the Ajax had some nasty fuel, they had to wear protective suits to fuel it. Here's a couple pics of a Herc firing on Crete.
