EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the NFS (National Fire Service) Emergency Tender of Fire Force 34, stationed at Knightsbridge Fire Station (A2Z) in London during World War II. The tender, allocated to Basil Street in Knightsbridge, is seen here with its crew preparing for an emergency response. The NFS Emergency Tender was a crucial component of the firefighting effort during the war, as traditional fire engines were often diverted to military duties. This ET was specifically designed to carry specialized cutting equipment to deal with the increasing number of incidents involving bombs and other explosives. The interior of the vehicle is filled with an array of tools and equipment, including acetylene torches, oxy-propane cutting equipment, and other essentials for rescuing civilians and firefighters trapped in the rubble of bombings. The crew, dressed in their protective gear, are focused and ready for action. The London Fire Brigade's NFS Emergency Tenders played a vital role in the city's defense during the war, responding to thousands of incidents and saving countless lives. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who served during this period, risking their own lives to protect the people of London. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the essential role that firefighting services play in times of crisis. This NFS Emergency Tender from Fire Force district 34 is a significant piece of London's firefighting history.
