Blitz in London: AFS Firefighters Pulling a Deluge Branch on a Trailer, 1941 (London Fire Brigade / Mary Evans Picture Library, Mary Evans Prints Online) During the dark and tumultuous days of World War II, London endured relentless bombing raids, collectively known as The Blitz. Amid the chaos and destruction, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) valiantly worked to save lives and prevent further damage. In this evocative image, a team of Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) firefighters are seen pulling a deluge branch on a trailer through the debris-strewn streets of London. The deluge branch was a vital piece of equipment used during the Blitz to combat large-scale fires. This powerful appliance could be quickly deployed to extinguish fires in areas that were difficult to reach or inaccessible to conventional fire engines. The AFS, an auxiliary force established to support the LFB during wartime, played a crucial role in the defense of the city. The firefighters in this photograph are dressed in their distinctive uniforms, complete with helmets and protective clothing. Their faces are etched with determination and focus as they work together to maneuver the heavy trailer through the devastated urban landscape. The scene is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect London during the Blitz. This photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a unique glimpse into the wartime efforts of the London Fire Brigade and the Auxiliary Fire Service. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the people of London, who, despite the unimaginable challenges they faced, never lost hope and continued to rebuild their city.
