EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment frozen in time. The brave firemen of the headquarters staff are diligently practicing their display for the grand opening of London's new Fire Brigade Headquarters on the Albert Embankment. It is an occasion fit for royalty, as they prepare to showcase their skills before the King and Queen themselves. The impressive nine-storey steel construction looms behind them, a symbol of modernity and progress in a world caught between two wars. With focused determination, these courageous firefighters direct powerful streams of water from their hoses towards a target during their practice session. This image captures not only the physical strength and agility required by these heroes but also their unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property. Their dedication shines through as they perfect every move, ensuring that they are prepared to face any challenge that may come their way. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph, we are transported back to 21st July 1937 - an era marked by both turmoil and resilience. Through Europeana Photography's lens, we glimpse into history with awe-inspiring clarity. This press photography from Planet News serves as a testament to human bravery amidst adversity - reminding us all of the selflessness embodied by those who serve our communities day in and day out.
