EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and bravery of the London Fire Brigade during a rescue operation at 298 Old Brompton Road, London SW5 on 25 February 1956. The image shows Sub Officer Temple extending an escape ladder to the second floor of the building, with the mother of 19-month-old Dennis Norman McGowan standing at the foot, anxiously awaiting her child's rescue. The building, shrouded in thick smoke, had been engulfed in flames, and it had been reported that Dennis was in his cot in the front room. The fire brigade's quick response was crucial in saving the child's life. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of an AA van and a Lyons tea van in the background, adding to the chaotic yet familiar atmosphere of the 1950s London street. This historical photograph not only showcases the bravery and dedication of the firefighters but also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a poignant reminder of the importance of emergency services in our communities.
