EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, a team of civil defence rescue workers, identified by the letters "R" on their helmets, carry a casualty from the exercise site during a Combined Civil Defence exercise in the 1940s. The letters "Pol" on the helmet of the woman in the foreground signify that she is a policewoman, and the nurse accompanying the team ensures the injured person receives proper care. This tactical training exercise, which took place during the wartime years of the 1940s, was a crucial part of the London Fire Brigade's preparation for emergencies and disasters. The 37th Civil Defence Rescue Team, based in the Vale of Perry area, practiced carrying casualties on stretchers and learning the most effective ways to respond to various emergency situations. The combined civil defence force, which included both firefighters and rescue workers, played a vital role in protecting the city during World War II. This photograph, taken in 1942, offers a poignant reminder of the bravery and teamwork displayed by emergency services personnel during this pivotal period in history. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to training and preparation ensured that they were well-equipped to handle the challenges of the war and provide essential services to the people of London.
