EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1940s, amidst the chaos and conflict of World War II. Standing proudly outside the NFS Fire station A2Z, part of London's 36 fire force area which covered Ilford, is a Leyland FKT Pump Escape fire engine. This powerful machine was an essential tool in combating fires during this tumultuous period. The image captures not only the impressive machinery but also provides a glimpse into the lives of those who served on the frontlines. In an era where men were predominantly associated with such roles, we see brave firefighters standing beside their trusted companion. The atmosphere surrounding this photograph is filled with determination and resilience as these courageous individuals work tirelessly to protect their community from devastating fires caused by war-related incidents. Their unwavering commitment shines through their eyes and posture, reminding us of the sacrifices made during this dark chapter in history.
