EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1950s, members of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) take part in a major exercise at the Fire Services Technical College in Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire. The Auxiliary Fire Service was an auxiliary organization of the British Fire Service, formed during World War II to supplement the regular fire brigades in the event of a large-scale emergency or air raids. The image captures the intensity and focus of the firefighters as they prepare for the exercise, with some donning their helmets and checking their equipment. The fire engine in the foreground is ready for action, its hoses coiled neatly beside it. In the background, a regimental unit gathers, with firefighters clustered around a map or diagram, likely discussing strategy and tactics for the exercise. The setting, with its lush greenery and open fields, underscores the importance of outdoor training for firefighters. The Fire Services Technical College at Moreton in Marsh was an essential training ground for firefighters from across the country, providing them with the skills and knowledge they needed to effectively respond to emergencies. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and professionalism of the Auxiliary Fire Service during a major exercise in the late 1950s. It is a reminder of the crucial role that firefighters play in protecting communities and ensuring public safety.
