EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's NFS (No. 5) pump escape and crew in action during World War II, specifically at the Regional Headquarters fire station in Lambeth. The image shows the rear-mounted pump being operated in the headquarters drill yard after the escape has been removed. Two water supplies are feeding the pump, one from the station yard hydrant and the other from the adjacent Whitgift Street. The firefighters, dressed in their protective gear, work diligently to ensure a steady water supply for the pump jets. The London Fire Brigade's vehicles and engines were a vital part of the city's defense during the war, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily operations and the camaraderie of the firefighting team. Taken in 1941, this photograph transports us back to the 1940s and the forties, a time of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The London Fire Brigade's NFS Region played a crucial role in protecting London during WWII, and this photograph is a testament to their unwavering commitment and bravery.
