EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and bravery of the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz on 7 September 1940, the first major bombing raid on the city. St Katherine's Dock in the Port of London lies in ruins in the background, the result of a devastating air attack. Two turntable ladders are in operation, their firefighter crews skillfully directing jets of water towards the flames engulfing a damaged warehouse. The determination and focus of these brave men is palpable, as they risk their lives to contain the inferno and prevent further damage to the surrounding area. The London Fire Brigade played a vital role during the Blitz, responding to over 17,000 fires caused by the relentless bombing campaigns. This image, taken during the early stages of the war, is a poignant reminder of the heroism and resilience of the firefighters who worked tirelessly to protect their city during the darkest days of World War II.
