EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of dedicated Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) control unit members are seen working intently during a major exercise at the Fire Services Technical College in Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire, in 1959. The Auxiliary Fire Service was an essential part of the British emergency services during the 1950s, with its members providing valuable support to the regular fire brigade during times of need. The image captures the seriousness and focus of the AFS team as they communicate and coordinate efforts to manage a simulated emergency situation. The control unit, filled with various communication equipment, serves as the nerve center for the operation, with the team members diligently relaying information and instructions to their counterparts on the ground. Among the group, a woman firefighter stands out, demonstrating the vital role women played in the AFS during this era. Her determined expression and involvement in the control unit operations underscore the importance of gender equality in emergency services and the significant contributions made by women in the field. The London Fire Brigade's AFS units were renowned for their professionalism and dedication, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the teamwork, communication, and organization required to effectively manage large-scale emergency exercises. The Fire Services Technical College in Moreton in Marsh provided an essential platform for training and development, ensuring that AFS members were well-prepared to support their communities during times of crisis. This photograph, taken in the late 1950s, offers a fascinating look into the past, showcasing the crucial role of the Auxiliary Fire Service and the importance of effective communication and coordination during emergency situations.
