EDITORS COMMENTS
Blitz in London: AFS Firefighter on Ladder during WWII Training Exercise (1940s) This evocative photograph captures the determination and courage of an Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) firefighter during a training exercise in London during the 1940s. Amidst the backdrop of the Second World War, also known as the Blitz, the firefighter is seen perched precariously on a ladder, hose in hand, with a tin helmet protecting his head from potential debris. The hosepipe is attached to the ground, ready for use in case of an emergency. The AFS was formed in 1938 to supplement the London Fire Brigade (LFB) during times of war, as the LFB was considered insufficient to deal with the expected increase in fires due to air raids. The AFS recruited volunteers from all walks of life, and this image showcases the diversity of the service, with the firefighter wearing civilian clothing. The photograph was taken at the AFS headquarters, likely during a drill or simulation exercise. The fire engine and other appliances can be seen in the background, ready for deployment. The firefighters' focus and readiness are palpable, as they prepared to face the challenges of the Blitz head-on. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the firefighters during the WWII Blitz in London. The image captures the spirit of the time, with the firefighter's unwavering dedication to protecting the city and its people, despite the dangers and uncertainties of war.
