EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 1960s, firefighters from the Middlesex Fire Brigade are seen collaborating with their London Fire Brigade (LFB) counterparts to extinguish a blaze in the Kilburn area of North West London. The photograph captures the moment of mutual assistance between the two brigades, which was common practice in those days when the boundary between the former London County Council area and the County of Middlesex (West London) was not well-defined. The scene is chaotic, with thick smoke billowing from the house engulfed in flames. Fire engines and ladders from both brigades are positioned strategically on the street, their hoses trained on the burning building. Firemen in protective gear are seen working together, some manning the pumps, others climbing the ladders to reach the upper floors. One of the Middlesex Fire Brigade's distinctive pump escapes is prominently displayed in the image, adding to the sense of urgency and collaboration. The vehicle, with its powerful pump and hose, was an essential tool in firefighting operations, enabling firefighters to reach high places and extinguish fires from a distance. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of cooperation between fire brigades in the London area during the 1960s. It underscores the importance of sharing resources and expertise in the face of emergencies, a practice that continues to this day. The image also offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of firefighting during a bygone era.
