EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and dedication of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) firefighters as they work to extinguish a blaze at The Steam Packet public house on Everett Street in Battersea, London SW8, on 26 April 1959. The fire, which engulfed the top floor of the building, required the firefighters to don their breathing apparatus to enter the smoke-filled premises and ventilate the area. In the image, a BA (Breathing Apparatus) Control Officer is meticulously checking each firefighter as they emerge from the building, ensuring their equipment is functioning correctly and that they are unharmed. The firefighters, wearing their distinctive breathing apparatus with its iconic armbands, goggles, and helmets, display a sense of focus and determination as they undergo this essential safety procedure. The BA Control Officer, with his clipboard and checklist in hand, carefully examines each tag on the firefighters' helmets, ensuring that they are accounted for and safe. The steam rising from the building in the background adds to the dramatic atmosphere, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the London Fire Brigade and the vital role that firefighters played in protecting their communities during the 1950s. The image is a poignant reminder of the bravery and selflessness of these dedicated public servants, who risked their lives to keep others safe.
