A National Fire Service Sub-Station with an External Baking Oven in the Yard during World War II This evocative photograph captures the scene of a National Fire Service (NFS) sub-station in London during the 1940s, with an external baking oven situated in the yard. The National Fire Service was the wartime successor to the Municipal Fire Brigade and the County Fire Brigades in Great Britain, formed in response to the increasing threat of air raids during World War II. The sub-station, with its red brick walls and chimney, stands proudly against the backdrop of the grey London sky. Firemen, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen working around the station, while the baking oven, a brick structure with a large chimney stack, sits quietly in the foreground. The oven was likely used to provide hot meals for the firemen on duty, as well as for the local community during the war. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and resilience, as the firemen went above and beyond their duties to support their fellow citizens during this challenging time. The presence of the baking oven in the yard is a testament to the resourcefulness and community spirit that thrived during the war years. The photograph, taken in 1941, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the London Fire Brigade during World War II. The brickwork and chimney of the sub-station and the oven are well-preserved, adding to the historical significance of the image. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the National Fire Service during the war years and the essential role they played in protecting their communities.
