EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, taken in 1964, firemen carefully examine a jerry can found at the scene of a suspected arson fire in the railway goods yard at New Cross Gate station, SE4. The London Fire Brigade was meticulous in gathering photographic evidence wherever possible to aid in the investigation of fires where arson was suspected or proven. The jerry can, with its distinctive red and white stripes, lies abandoned on the railway tracks, its contents having been used as an accelerant to start the fire. The can, with its service origin unknown, is a chilling reminder of the deliberate and dangerous act of arson that had taken place. The London Fire Brigade firemen, dressed in their iconic uniforms, scrutinize the can with a mixture of suspicion and doubt, their expressions conveying a sense of unease and determination. The diesel-soaked rails and surrounding area in the railway sidings bear the telltale signs of a recent blaze. The smoke and soot in the air, the charred remains of debris, and the hissing sound of water being hosed down all serve as grim reminders of the destructive power of fire. The London Fire Brigade firefighters, with their unwavering commitment to their duty, work tirelessly to contain the flames and prevent further damage. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, offers a glimpse into the past of the London Fire Brigade's investigation methods and the dangerous world of firefighting. The use of photographic evidence was a crucial tool in determining the probable cause of fires, particularly those suspected to be the result of arson. The London Fire Brigade's dedication to documenting such incidents underscores their professionalism and their unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of the public.
