EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the intensity of a warehouse fire that engulfed the riverside wharfs of Herring Street in London during the 1960s. The image shows the GLC-LFB (Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade) in full force, battling the blaze with all their might. In the foreground, salvage tenders from the London Salvage Corps are hard at work, mitigating the damage caused by the firefighting efforts. The tenders are essential, as the water used to extinguish the flames can cause significant water damage, while the smoke can lead to extensive smoke damage. The fire rages on in the background, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky, obscuring the view of the nearby buildings. A turntable ladder from the fire brigade can be seen in the distance, reaching for the upper floors of the burning warehouse. The road in front of the scene is closed off, with onlookers gathered at a safe distance to witness the spectacle. The photograph, taken in 1966, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and dedication of the firefighters and salvage teams during a time when fires in warehouses were a common occurrence. The image is a poignant reminder of the risks they took to protect people and property, using the best equipment available to them at the time." Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans Prints Online.
