EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two London Fire Brigade firefighters are seen diligently controlling a powerful jet of water during an extended drill at the Brigade HQ in Lambeth, SE1. The year is 1940, and the Second World War is in full swing. The firefighters, dressed in their iconic uniforms, are focused intently on their task, their faces set with determination and concentration. Behind them, the extended drill yard stretches out, filled with various firefighting equipment and hoses. A large dam or gulley can be seen in the background, its purpose perhaps to provide a steady water supply for the firefighters' training exercises. The image transports us back in time to the wartime era, a period when the London Fire Brigade played a crucial role in protecting the city from the devastating effects of bombing raids and fires. The London Fire Brigade, founded in 1865, had been an integral part of London's infrastructure for over 75 years by this point. During the Second World War, the Brigade faced unprecedented challenges, with over 17,000 fires reported in the city between 1939 and 1945. The firefighters worked tirelessly, often in dangerous conditions, to extinguish fires and save lives. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of the London Fire Brigade during the wartime years. The firefighters' unwavering commitment to their duty, even in the face of adversity, is a testament to their professionalism and the importance of their work. The image also serves as a reminder of the vital role that emergency services play in our communities, protecting us from harm and ensuring our safety.
