EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and skill of a London Region National Fire Service (NFS) firefighter during World War II, as he demonstrates the correct method of rolling out a line of hose. Dressed in full protective gear, the firefighter holds the nozzle end of the hose with one hand, while using the other to guide the hose as it is being laid out by his comrades. The hose, a vital tool in firefighting, is carefully and efficiently rolled out in a running lay, ensuring that it is not kinked or damaged. The fire brigade, an essential service during wartime, was responsible for extinguishing fires in London and its surrounding areas during the 1940s. This instructional photograph, taken in 1942, is a testament to the rigorous training and discipline that firefighters underwent to ensure they were prepared for the challenges of firefighting during this critical period in history. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, played a pivotal role in protecting the city from the devastating effects of fire, and this image serves as a reminder of their unwavering commitment and bravery.
