EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and lively photograph taken in the heart of SE London, Eltham fire station is seen hosting a charity fete in its spacious yard. The image, captured in the 1970s, depicts a bustling scene filled with excitement and camaraderie. The red brick façade of the fire station stands proudly in the background, with the London Fire Brigade's iconic insignia prominently displayed. Firefighters in their distinctive uniforms, complete with helmets and yellow slickers, are seen mingling with the crowd, engaging in conversations and sharing stories. Children, wide-eyed with wonder, are given the opportunity to explore the fire engine on display, while their parents look on with smiles. The fire station yard is transformed into a fairground, with various stalls selling homemade cakes, plants, and other local produce. A raffle is being held, with prizes ranging from hampers to fire station merchandise. The air is filled with the tantalizing aroma of hot dogs and burgers sizzling on the barbecue. An aerial view of the scene reveals the extent of the community involvement, with people of all ages gathered together for a good cause. The open day is a testament to the strong bond between the fire service and the community it serves. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to fundraising and engagement is evident in this heartwarming photograph, taken in the spring of 1974. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the spirit of community and the importance of fire stations as integral parts of our neighborhoods.
