EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of young firemen from the GLC-LFB Junior Firemen scheme are seen huddled around a fire engine, focused intently as they undergo their driving course in the winter of 1966. The scene exudes an air of determination and camaraderie, as these boys prepare to take on the responsibilities of operational firefighters in the London Fire Brigade. The Junior Firemen scheme, which ran from 1964 to 1969, provided extended training for 16-17 year old boys who aspired to become firefighters. The driving course was a crucial requirement for passing their training, and this photograph captures the intensity of the learning experience. The fire engine, adorned with the distinctive London Fire Brigade insignia, is parked on a snow-covered rural road, adding to the sense of isolation and focus. The boys, dressed in their uniforms and wearing their learner driver plates, are fully engaged in the task at hand, as their instructor looks on approvingly. The photograph transports us back to the 1960s, a time when the role of the fire service was undergoing significant changes. The Junior Firemen scheme was an important part of this evolution, providing a pathway for young people to join the service and make a valuable contribution to their communities. Despite the cold and challenging conditions, the boys' dedication and determination are evident in their body language and expressions. This photograph is a testament to their commitment and the importance of the training they were receiving, as they prepared to join the ranks of the London Fire Brigade as fully-fledged firefighters.
