EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the Corps of Canadian Fire-fighters (CCCF), as government officials gathered in the grand halls of the Government Building in Ottawa for crucial meetings about the formation of the volunteer fire force. Established in 1942, the CCCF, also known as the Volunteer Corps of Canadian Fire-fighters, played a vital role during World War II by providing emergency firefighting support to the British military on the 2nd Home Front in England. The CCCF was a unique response to the war effort, with over 4,000 volunteers from across Canada answering the call to serve their country overseas. These brave men and women left their homes and families to join the Corps, which was stationed in England between 1942 and 1945. Their duties ranged from manning fire stations and responding to emergencies, to maintaining equipment and providing essential services to the local communities. This photograph, taken circa 1942, offers a glimpse into the early days of the CCCF's existence. The solemn expressions on the faces of the government officials underscore the gravity of the decisions being made, as they worked to ensure the success and safety of the volunteers who would soon be deployed to the front lines. The CCCF's legacy continues to be celebrated in Canada and the United Kingdom, as a testament to the courage and dedication of the men and women who answered the call to serve their country during wartime.
