EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Building Squad of the National Fire Service (N.F.S.) in action during World War II, constructing a new control room for their fire station. The N.F.S. was an essential part of the British home front, providing critical firefighting services during a time when the threat of air raids was ever-present. Many members of the N.F.S. were skilled builders in their civilian lives, and they brought these talents to bear in their war work. In this image, we see them hard at work, laying bricks and mortar to create a sturdy and effective control room. The squad members are focused and determined, their faces set with the concentration of craftsmen at work. The date of this photograph is estimated to be circa 1941, a time when the Blitz was in full swing. The need for such construction work on the home front was constant, as damage from air raids required quick and effective repairs to essential services. The N.F.S. Building Squad was a vital component of the war effort, ensuring that fire stations remained operational and able to respond to emergencies. This photograph, taken by renowned British photojournalist John Hinde, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the N.F.S. during wartime. It highlights the importance of civil defence and the role that ordinary citizens played in supporting the war effort, even as they continued to work in their chosen professions. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the British people during World War II.
