In this print from January 1939, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable demonstration by the Petworth R. D. C. Fire Brigade. Four brave men, donning their traditional fire brigade headwear, stand tall as they skillfully handle powerful fire hoses. With precision and determination, they shoot water up into the air, creating an awe-inspiring display of strength and control. Surrounded by fellow firefighters and curious spectators alike, this moment captures the essence of camaraderie and community spirit that defines the firefighting profession. The onlookers stand in admiration as these courageous individuals showcase their expertise in handling emergencies with grace under pressure. The George Garland Collection has preserved this historical gem for us to marvel at today. It serves as a testament to the dedication and bravery exhibited by our local heroes throughout history.

Let it serve as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern-day firefighting practices
