EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1950s, a group of dedicated volunteers from the Industrial Works Fire Brigade in London receive instruction on the proper use of a hose line and controlling a branch jet of water. The scene takes place in front of a red fire engine, its hoses coiled neatly on the ground, and a second engine can be seen in the background. The firefighters, dressed in their iconic uniforms, listen intently as their instructor demonstrates the techniques required to effectively extinguish a fire. The volunteers, who gave their time and effort to serve their community, were an essential part of the firefighting network in London during the mid-20th century. Their training was crucial to ensuring they were prepared for any emergency situation they might encounter. In this moment, they are focused on mastering the intricacies of controlling water flow through a hose line and the importance of maintaining proper pressure and direction. The photograph captures the seriousness and determination of the volunteers as they learn the skills necessary to protect their industrial works and the city they call home. The image is a testament to their commitment and the vital role they played in the London Fire Brigade during the 1950s. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the history of firefighting in London.
