EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and bravery of the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz of 1940. The scene is set in Bonhill Street, in the heart of the City of London, on the fateful day of 15 October. The image bears witness to the devastating impact of an incendiary bomb, which had caused extensive damage to the buildings around. In the foreground, firefighters are seen in action, their faces determined and focused as they battle the flames with a powerful hosepipe. The fireman at the front wears a tin helmet and a protective coat, while another firefighter stands by, ready with a jet of water. The smoke-filled air is thick with the acrid smell of burning and the sound of sirens fills the background. The London Fire Brigade's quick and effective response was crucial during the Second World War, as the city endured relentless air raids. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the fire service during the wartime years.
