EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's Wartime Emergency Appliance, a Fordson unit and trailer pump, stationed at the Brigade's headquarters in Lambeth during the 1930s and 1940s. With the onset of World War II, the London Fire Brigade rapidly adapted over 2000 vehicles, including this Fordson unit, into Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) appliances. Equipped with trailer pumps, these vehicles became essential tools in the fight against the relentless bombing raids during the Blitz. The image reveals a dedicated crew in action, with the Fordson unit's spacious cabin accommodating multiple firefighters. The trailer pump, visible in the background, is laden with hoses, ready for deployment. The Fordson unit, a symbol of resilience and resourcefulness, was a vital component of the London Fire Brigade's arsenal during this tumultuous period. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination displayed by the firefighters during the darkest days of the Second World War. The London Fire Brigade's fleet of adapted vehicles, including this Fordson unit, played a pivotal role in protecting the city and its inhabitants from the devastating effects of the bombing raids. The London Fire Brigade's headquarters in Lambeth, where this photograph was taken, continues to serve as a testament to the unwavering commitment and courage of the firefighters who have safeguarded the city for generations.
