EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of the NFS (London Region) AFS (Auxiliary Fire Service) firefighters during their wartime exercises in the 1940s. The scene shows a team of brave firefighters working together to operate a hose pump, preparing for an emergency response during World War II. The London Fire Brigade's AFS units were formed in response to the heavy bombing raids on London during the war, and these volunteers played a crucial role in providing additional firefighting resources to the city. The firefighters in this image are focused on their task, their expressions conveying a sense of urgency and purpose. The mobile pump, with its large wheels and powerful engine, is an essential piece of equipment for the team, allowing them to quickly reach the scene of a fire and begin pumping water to extinguish it. The hoses coiled at their feet are ready for use, and the firefighters wear protective gear, including helmets and leather coats, to shield them from the heat and debris of a fire. This photograph offers a glimpse into the vital work of the NFS (London Region) AFS during the wartime era, and serves as a reminder of the courage and dedication of these volunteer firefighters.
