EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in London Fire Brigade's history during the tumultuous 1940s. The image shows a NFS (London Region) A Bermondsey towing vehicle and trailer pump from 38 A 2V, stationed at Paragon School, Searles Road, London SE1. The scene unfolds at the Regional Headquarters in Lambeth, likely in the year 1941. The towing vehicle, adorned with the London Fire Brigade insignia, is hitched to a trailer pump, a vital piece of equipment used to transport water to fire scenes when hydrants were inaccessible. The pairing of these vehicles allowed the brigade to respond swiftly and effectively to fires in the wartime capital. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily operations of the London Fire Brigade during World War II. Firefighters, dressed in their iconic uniforms, work diligently around the vehicles, ensuring they are ready for the next call. The presence of several fire engines and lorries in the background suggests a large-scale emergency response is underway. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the London Fire Brigade during a time of great adversity. The vehicles and equipment, though simple in appearance, played a crucial role in protecting the city and its people from the devastating effects of the war. This photograph, taken by the London Fire Brigade and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective into the history of firefighting in London during the 1940s.
