A newly built NFS (London Region) fire station, WW2
Located in District 37 and prefixed J1X, this fire station was built in Hayes, Bromley, Kent. During the longer lulls in enemy action following the Blitz many firemen and firewomen were engaged in various industrial production and construction works, including the repair, rebuilding and, in this case, the construction of fire stations. In this way personnel were kept busily occupied and satisfied in the knowledge that they were contributing to the war effort

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the newly built NFS (London Region) fire station, J1X, located in Hayes, Bromley, Kent during World War II. In the quieter moments following the intense Blitz bombings, London Fire Brigade personnel found themselves engaged in various industrial production and construction projects to keep them occupied and contribute to the war effort. This fire station, one of many built during this period, was constructed in 1942. The firefighters and firewomen of the London Fire Brigade were not only responsible for putting out fires but also for the repair, rebuilding, and construction of essential infrastructure, including fire stations. This image showcases the progress of the new station, with fire vehicles and buildings taking shape. The fire service played a crucial role in the war effort, not only in firefighting but also in the rebuilding and maintenance of essential services and infrastructure. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the London Fire Brigade during the 1940s, a time of great challenge and change for the nation.
