Working on two shifts in the twenty four hours, the entire Fire Brigade at a large
Working on two shifts in the twenty four hours, the entire Fire Brigade at a large Ministry of Supply factory in the South of England are assembling rifles instead of idly waiting for the fire alarm to sound.
Benches and tools have been installed in the fire station right beside the engines and firefighting equipment and under the watchful eye of skilled artisans, the firemen are doing two war jobs at once.
Picture shows: The fire station workshop. On the left can be seen one of the fire engines and on the right Assistant Fire Brigade officer F. Lee is working at the bench with Firemen Wright, Renwick and Crane examine the rifles.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to May 1942 in the midst of World War II. The image showcases the incredible dedication and resourcefulness of the entire Fire Brigade at a Ministry of Supply factory in the South of England. Rather than idly waiting for fire alarms to sound, these brave firefighters have taken on an additional crucial task - assembling rifles. The fire station has been transformed into a workshop, with benches and tools installed right beside the engines and firefighting equipment. Under the watchful eye of skilled artisans, Assistant Fire Brigade officer F. Lee can be seen diligently working at a bench alongside Firemen Wright, Renwick, and Crane who examine the rifles they have assembled. This powerful visual encapsulates the spirit of wartime Britain's home front efforts. It exemplifies how every individual was called upon to contribute to the war effort in any way possible. These firefighters not only risked their lives battling blazes but also dedicated themselves to arming their fellow countrymen with essential weapons. The photograph serves as a testament to both their bravery and versatility as they work tirelessly around-the-clock on two shifts within twenty-four hours. It is a poignant reminder that even those serving in emergency services were willing to go above and beyond their call of duty during times of conflict. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, let us remember all those who selflessly worked together towards victory amidst adversity - both on and off the battlefield.
