1. Title: "Student Nurses Rehearsing a Three-Handed Lift: A Fire Safety Training Exercise in London's Nursing Schools" This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the training of student nurses in the early 20th century. In the image, a group of young women in their pristine white nursing uniforms are seen practicing a three-handed lift under the watchful eye of a sub-officer from the Fire Prevention Branch of the London Fire Brigade. The fireman, dressed in full firefighting gear, stands nearby, ready to intervene if necessary. The three-handed lift was a crucial skill for nurses to master, as it enabled them to safely move patients who were unable to move on their own, such as those who had been injured or were bedridden. This technique required the cooperation of three nurses, each taking one of the patient's limbs while the fourth provided support and stability. Fire safety was an essential aspect of nursing education during this era, given the high risk of fires in hospitals due to the extensive use of open flames for heating, cooking, and sterilization. The London Fire Brigade played a vital role in educating nursing students on fire safety procedures and drills, ensuring that they were prepared to respond effectively in case of an emergency. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the interconnected worlds of nursing and firefighting, highlighting the importance of collaboration, teamwork, and safety in both professions. The image also serves as a testament to the dedication of student nurses and their trainers, who recognized the value of hands-on training and the importance of being prepared for any situation.
