EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment from an NFS (National Fire Service) AFS (Auxiliary Fire Service) exercise in London Region during World War II. In the image, firefighters from the London Fire Brigade are seen diligently practicing their firefighting skills using hoses. The year is 1941, and the 1940s echo with the sounds of sirens and the constant threat of air raids. The firefighters, dressed in their protective gear, focus intently on their task, ensuring they are prepared for any emergency. The hoses, which were a crucial tool in combating fires during this period, are being tested and adjusted, with the powerful jets of water reaching impressive heights. The London Fire Brigade's AFS was an essential part of the wartime effort, as they provided additional manpower and resources to the regular fire service. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of the firefighters during this pivotal time in history.
