EDITORS COMMENTS
A haunting image of the LCC-LFB Warehouse fire at Butlers Wharf in Bermondsey, SE London, captured during the harsh chill of a March in the 1930s. The photograph depicts a major docklands fire that engulfed the warehouses, sending thick plumes of billowing smoke into the sky. The fire, which occurred during a particularly cold spell, had drawn a large number of firefighters from the London Fire Brigade to the scene. The firefighters, clad in their brass helmets and heavy uniforms, are seen tirelessly attacking the blaze with their hoses. The frozen water from the hoses, a stark contrast to the fiery inferno, creates an intriguing juxtaposition. In the foreground, the remnants of the ruins and rubble are scattered about, a testament to the intensity of the fire. The fireboat, with its powerful jets, tackles the blaze from the Thames, adding another layer to the chaotic scene. The firemen, their faces obscured by the thick smoke, continue their heroic efforts to contain the flames. The scene is a snapshot of the past, a reminder of the challenges faced by the London Fire Brigade during the 1930s. The image is a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the firefighters, who risked their lives to extinguish the flames and protect the community. This photograph, taken by the London Fire Brigade and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of firefighting in London during the 1930s. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of fire safety and the critical role that firefighters play in protecting our communities.
