EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and bravery of the London Fire Brigade as they battled a blaze in Simpsons Road, Poplar, East London on 25 January 1958. The east side of Block D is shown in the image, with firefighters in the foreground wielding hosepipes to quench the persistent flames. Rubber bags and stacks of the flammable material are visible against the building above floor level, adding to the danger and complexity of the situation. The firemen, dressed in helmets with cork linings to protect against the heat, work tirelessly to extinguish the blaze and cool down the smoky, black and billowing debris. The jet of water from the hosepipe cuts through the thick smoke, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding chaos. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1950s and the era of the London Fire Brigade's traditional firefighting methods. The image is a testament to the unwavering commitment and courage of the firefighters, who risked their lives to protect the community from the destructive power of fire.
