EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the LCC-LFB AFS Green Goddess pump, a typical example of the government-designed firefighting appliances used by the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) during the 1950s. The image was taken at the drill yard of Brigade Headquarters station in Lambeth, London, during the mid-1950s. The AFS Green Goddess pump, created prior to the outbreak of World War II, was a vital part of the Civil Defence Corps until its disbandment in the late 1960s. The AFS was a volunteer organization that supplemented the work of the regular fire brigades during emergencies and times of war. The Green Goddess pump in this photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the AFS. The vehicle, with its distinctive green livery, was designed to be easily transported and quickly deployed to fire scenes. It was equipped with a powerful pump and hose reels, allowing firefighters to tackle fires effectively and efficiently. The photograph shows the firemen of the Lambeth brigade gathered around the Green Goddess pump during a drill, ensuring that they were familiar with the appliance's operation and capabilities. The image captures the sense of camaraderie and teamwork that was essential to the AFS, as well as the importance of being prepared for emergencies. The Green Goddess pump in this photograph is a reminder of the vital role that the AFS played in the history of the London Fire Brigade and the wider community during the 1950s. Its enduring legacy can still be seen in the modern firefighting appliances used by fire and rescue services around the world.
