EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the National Fire Service (NFS) London Region control room during World War II. With the Fire Service having been nationalised in 1941, the London Fire Brigade merged with its surrounding brigades to form the London Region of the NFS, covering an area similar to Greater London today. The region was divided into five districts, with Lambeth serving as the Regional Headquarters. Each district also had its own headquarters. In the centre of the room, officers diligently study maps and consult with one another, planning their next moves in response to the numerous fires reported across the city. The command centre was a hub of activity, where the latest information was relayed and strategies were formulated. The brigade's officers, both men and women, worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of Londoners during the wartime crisis. The NFS London Region played a crucial role in protecting London during the 1940s, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the control room. The room is filled with a sense of purpose and determination, as the officers work together to extinguish the flames and provide much-needed relief to those affected by the fires. The London Fire Brigade returned to local authority control in 1948, but this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of the NFS officers during the war years. This image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs held by the London Fire Brigade at Mary Evans Picture Library.
