EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment of camaraderie and adventure. The Truro Fire Brigade outing at Calstock, Cornwall, is beautifully captured by photographer Arthur William Jordan. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to a small covered boat gently swaying on the calm waters of the river. Moored by the key, members of the fire brigade can be seen sitting together, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead. Dressed in their Edwardian uniforms, they exude an air of professionalism and dedication. The picturesque Cornish landscape serves as a stunning backdrop for this historic gathering. The tranquil river flows gracefully beneath them while lush greenery adorns its banks. It's evident that these brave firefighters have chosen an idyllic location for their outing – one that not only showcases Cornwall's natural beauty but also provides an opportunity for relaxation and bonding. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into a time when communities relied heavily on local heroes like these firefighters to protect them from devastating fires. Beyond their duty-bound roles as guardians against flames, it is heartwarming to see these individuals come together outside of work hours to forge stronger connections amongst themselves. Preserved within this print is not just a memory frozen in time but also a testament to the resilience and unity found within Cornwall's fire service during the early 1900s – reminding us all of their invaluable contribution towards safeguard
