EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures an NFS (National Fire Service) fireboat at her moorings in Grays near Tilbury, Essex, during World War II. The London Region's R5Z-TS Exmouth river fire station, located in this area, was the furthest easterly station in the London Fire Brigade's network. The fireboats played a crucial role in protecting the Thames and its vital transport infrastructure from enemy attacks during the war. In the photo, a lone fireman stands on the quay, his gaze fixed on the fireboat. The boat, named after the famous London landmark Blackfriars Bridge, is ready for action. Its powerful hoses and pumps are coiled and secured, while the firefighting equipment is neatly stowed away. The fireboat, along with its crew, was a vital component of the London Fire Brigade's defense strategy during the 1940s. The quayside at Grays, with its industrial backdrop, is a stark reminder of the wartime setting. The Thames, a vital waterway for commerce and transportation, was a constant target for enemy attacks. The fireboats, manned by brave firefighters, were on constant alert, ready to respond to any emergency. This photograph, taken in 1942, offers a glimpse into the wartime role of the London Fire Brigade and the vital work of the NFS fireboats. It is a testament to the courage and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect the people and infrastructure of London during the darkest days of World War II.
