EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures London firefighters in action during a blaze at Carron Wharf on Upper Thames Street on 28th June 1939. The firemen are seen working diligently on an adjoining external staircase, carefully maneuvering heavy hoses and hosepipes to combat the flames that engulfed the riverside building. The intensity of the fire is evident in the thick plumes of smoke billowing from the windows, while the firefighters remain focused, their helmets glinting in the light. This image offers a glimpse into the heroic work of the London Fire Brigade during the 1930s, a time when firefighting techniques and equipment were evolving to meet the challenges of increasingly complex fires. With their unwavering dedication and professionalism, these brave men risked their lives to protect the people and property of London from the destructive power of fire. This photograph is a testament to the vital role of firefighters in our history and the important work they continue to do today.
