EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bravery and determination of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) firefighters as they tackle a fire that broke out in the basement area of the Chinacraft store located at 499 Oxford Street, London, on 28 July 1958. The firefighters, dressed in their breathing apparatus, helmets, goggles, and waterproof suits, are seen outside the main entrance of the store, ready to enter the smoky and potentially dangerous environment. The pavement in front of them is marked with a chalk board, indicating the location and details of the incident. The fire, which occurred in the 1950s, was a common occurrence in the bustling shopping district of Oxford Street. The LFB firefighters, equipped with their hoses and hosepipes, worked tirelessly to extinguish the flames and prevent further damage to the store and surrounding buildings. The use of breathing apparatus was essential to protect the firefighters from the thick smoke and toxic fumes that were produced by the fire. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the important work of the London Fire Brigade during the 1950s. It serves as a reminder of the courage and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to keep the public safe from harm.
