EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of the London Region NFS/AFS (National Fire Service/Auxiliary Fire Service) crew during World War II. The London Fire Brigade was expanded in August 1941 to form the London Region, which covered the greater London area, in response to the increasing threat of air raids and fires caused by the intensifying bombing campaigns. The crew in this image is seen working diligently on an NFS breakdown lorry, a vital component of the fire service's transportation fleet during this period. The NFS came into force in 1941, and the AFS, which was formed in 1938, was absorbed into it. These brave men and women played a crucial role in keeping London moving despite the destruction caused by the war. The vehicle's distinctive markings and equipment, including the large pump and hoses, indicate that it was specifically designed for firefighting and rescue operations. The crew, dressed in their protective gear, are focused on their task, demonstrating the unwavering commitment and teamwork required to keep Londoners safe during this challenging time. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the London Region NFS/AFS during World War II and the essential role they played in maintaining essential services and keeping the city functioning amidst the chaos of war. The image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs held by the Mary Evans Picture Library.
