EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and courage of the Women of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) as they participate in Exercise Gateway in 1953. The London Fire Brigade's Auxiliary Fire Service was formed during World War II to provide additional manpower and support to the regular fire brigade. These women, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen here engaged in a rigorous training drill, preparing for the challenges of firefighting. With the absence of many firemen who had been called up for military service, the AFS played a vital role in keeping London safe during this period. The exercise, which took place in the 1950s, involved simulated fires and other emergency scenarios, allowing the women to hone their skills and work together as a team. The photograph captures the intensity and focus of the women as they carry out their duties, demonstrating their commitment and resilience. The image is a testament to the important role that women played in the fire service during a time of national need, and serves as a reminder of their valuable contributions to emergency services.
