EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two brave firefighters from the London Fire Brigade (LFB) are shown in action at No.9 Shed, King George V Dock, Port of London Authority, East London (E16), on 29 December 1974. The scene is one of chaos and intensity as a major fire engulfs the dockyard, with thick, smoky air filling the frame. The firefighters, dressed in their protective gear, are directing their hoses towards the burning bales of fibre, determinedly forcing entry into the building to extinguish the blaze. The date, 1974, marks this photograph as a relic of the 1970s, a time when the Port of London was a bustling hub of industry and commerce. The fire, which involved 30 pumps, was a significant event in the history of the London Fire Brigade, requiring the utmost skill and bravery from the firefighters to contain and put out. The firefighters are seen wearing their helmets, goggles, and breathing equipment, essential gear for working in such hazardous conditions. Their hoses are filled with water, ready to be released as powerful jets to tackle the flames. The hoses and pipes are a testament to the fire service's advanced equipment, allowing the firefighters to effectively combat the blaze. This photograph captures the raw power and intensity of the firefighting effort, as well as the dedication and courage of the LFB personnel in the face of danger. It is a poignant reminder of the vital role that the fire service plays in protecting the community and ensuring public safety.
