EDITORS COMMENTS
this evocative photograph captures a London Fire Brigade (LFB) towing unit and trailer pump from Lewisham Sub-station (37 F 2 Y) in action during a training exercise in SE London during the 1940s. The scene is set at Lewisham Bridge School, Elmira Street, where firefighters are meticulously ensuring the safety and care of their vehicles and equipment. The towed unit, adorned with the distinctive London Fire Brigade insignia, is skillfully maneuvering over hose ramps. These ramps were an essential feature during the wartime era, as they protected the fire hoses from potential damage when they had to be laid across roadways. The hoses were a vital component of the firefighting equipment, enabling the brigade to reach and extinguish fires in the locality. The fire engine, with its powerful pump, follows closely behind the towing unit. The unit's purpose was to provide additional water supply during firefighting operations, ensuring that the fire engine could continue to pump water to extinguish the flames. The firefighters' dedication to maintaining their vehicles and equipment, even during the challenging conditions of the 1940s, is evident in this photograph. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the London Fire Brigade's commitment to providing essential firefighting services during WW2. The photograph, taken in 1944, is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the firefighters who served their communities during this pivotal period in history. The London Fire Brigade's legacy of care, service, and dedication continues to this day.
