EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) in action during the Blitz in London during World War II. Taken by a colleague, the image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the AFS at Sub-Station 67Z of Islington Fire Station, located at Laycock School on Highbury Station Road. The photograph features firewomen of the Heavy Unit, their determined expressions and focused demeanor reflecting the intense nature of their work. The setting, with its worn walls and cluttered equipment, underscores the harsh realities of wartime firefighting. The AFS was a civilian volunteer organization that played a crucial role in defending London during the Blitz. With the London Fire Brigade stretched thin, these brave women and men answered the call to service, working tirelessly to put out fires and save lives. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the women of the AFS during the war. It is not an official London Fire Brigade photograph, but rather a personal snapshot that may have been donated or sent to the Brigade after the war. The image offers a unique and personal perspective on the wartime experiences of the AFS, and serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of those who served during the Blitz in London.
