EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and dedication among the volunteers of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) of the London Fire Brigade during a large-scale fire drill exercise in the 1960s. The AFS, which was part of the Civil Defence Corps until its disbandment in the late 1960s, was made up of volunteer firefighters who would attend their local fire station for regular drills and training. They were prepared to respond to fires and other emergencies, providing essential support to the professional firefighting services. In this image, we see a line of fire engines from various London fire stations, each manned by a team of eager and focused firefighters. The engines, adorned with the distinctive London Fire Brigade insignia, are readied for action, their hoses coiled and their ladders raised. The atmosphere is one of intense preparation and anticipation, as the volunteers wait for the exercise to begin. The AFS played a vital role in the community during this era, and their presence at large-scale exercises like this one helped to ensure that the London Fire Brigade was always ready to face any challenge. The volunteers' commitment and hard work were essential in maintaining the city's fire safety, and this photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication to their cause.
