EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in British history, featuring a London firewoman proudly wearing her National Fire Service (NFS) uniform from the Second World War era. Established in 1941, the NFS was created as a result of the nationalisation of the British Fire Service during the conflict. The London Fire Brigade was one of the many regional fire services that came under the NFS umbrella. The uniform worn by this brave woman is a testament to the sacrifices made by the firefighters during the war. The design of the uniform was based on the former Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) badge, which can be seen on the lapel of her coat. The AFS was a civilian volunteer organisation that was formed in 1938 to supplement the regular fire services in the event of a major emergency. The NFS uniform was designed to provide firefighters with the necessary protection while carrying out their duties. The outfit consisted of a heavy coat, trousers, a helmet, and boots. The uniform was also adorned with various insignia, including the NFS crest, which can be seen on the lapel of the coat in this photograph. The London Fire Brigade, like many other emergency services, played a crucial role during the Second World War. Firefighters faced numerous challenges during the conflict, including fighting fires caused by air raids and dealing with the aftermath of bombings. The bravery and dedication of the firefighters during this period are a source of immense pride for the people of London and the UK as a whole. This photograph is a reminder of the important role that women played in the fire services during the Second World War. Women were an integral part of the NFS, and they took on roles that were traditionally reserved for men. The London Fire Brigade was no exception, with many women serving as firefighters and playing a vital role in keeping the city safe during the war.
