EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken at the London Fire Brigade Headquarters in Lambeth, SE1 during the 1940s, a squad of Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) firefighters proudly pose with their turntable ladder appliance. The AFS was a civilian-led organization established during World War II to supplement the work of the regular fire brigade and help protect London from the devastating effects of air raids and fires. The firefighters in this image, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, exude a sense of determination and camaraderie. They are a diverse group, reflecting the multinational and multicultural nature of the AFS, which welcomed volunteers from various backgrounds, including foreign and colonial personnel. The turntable ladder, a vital piece of equipment for reaching high-rise buildings and other hard-to-reach areas, is a testament to the advanced firefighting techniques and technology used by the AFS during this period. The London Fire Brigade Headquarters, located in Lambeth, was a hub of firefighting activity during the war. This photograph captures a moment of respite, as the firefighters take a break from their duties to commemorate their service and the important role they played in protecting their community during a time of great adversity. The image is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the AFS personnel and the vital contribution they made to London's wartime firefighting efforts.
