EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bravery and determination of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) firefighters as they battled a blaze at the Youngs Glue Factory in Bermondsey during the Second World War. The image, taken on Grange Road on 12 October 1940, depicts the firefighters working diligently from an external staircase as thick smoke billows from the burning building. The intensity of the fire is palpable, with flames engulfing the upper floors and the acrid smell of smoke filling the air. The Second World War, and in particular the Blitz, saw the London Fire Brigade face numerous challenges as they worked tirelessly to extinguish fires caused by German air raids. The fire at the Youngs Glue Factory was just one of many they attended during this period. Despite the dangerous conditions, the firefighters remained focused, using their hoses and other equipment to bring the fire under control. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of wartime London and the vital role the fire service played in keeping the city's residents safe. The firefighters' unwavering commitment to their duty is a testament to their courage and professionalism in the face of adversity. This historical image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the London Fire Brigade during the Second World War.
