NFS towing unit and trailer pump, WW2

The National Fire Service was formed in 1941 and Greater London was designated a fire region with Lambeth as the Regional HQ. NFS firefighters had little protection from the winter cold in their towing vehicles which were located at sub-fire stations all over London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the history of the National Fire Service (NFS) during World War II, as firefighters prepare for a call in the harsh winter conditions of 1940s London. The image shows a tow truck and trailer pump, belonging to the NFS, stationed on a snow-covered road. The Greater London region, with Lambeth as the Regional Headquarters, was designated a fire region during the war, and NFS firefighters had to endure the winter cold in their vehicles, which were located at sub-fire stations throughout the city. The tow truck, with its icy windscreen and snow-covered roof, is a testament to the challenging conditions these brave men faced as they responded to emergencies around the clock. The trailer pump, hitched to the back of the tow truck, was a vital piece of equipment for fighting fires in the frozen conditions, as it could be transported quickly and easily to the scene of an incident. The 24 fire vehicles and appliances of the NFS, affectionately known as the 'Fire Brigade,' played a crucial role in keeping the people of London safe during the war, and this photograph offers a poignant reminder of their bravery and dedication in the face of adversity.
