EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of humorous mishap during a training session at the London Fire Brigade in the 1940s. The scene depicts a group of firemen attempting to make a length of rolled-up hose flat for storage. The incorrect method, as demonstrated in the image, involves jumping on the hose to compress it. However, as one fireman in the foreground discovers, this approach results in an unintended and rather comical consequence – the hose springs back up, leaving the jumper covered in a tangled mess. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, played a crucial role in protecting the city during World War II. Firefighting during wartime presented unique challenges, with the risk of fires being started by bombing raids and the need for firefighters to respond quickly and efficiently. Proper care and maintenance of equipment, such as hoses, were essential for the success of their operations. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of following correct procedures, even during the heat of the moment or in the midst of training. The image also highlights the camaraderie and sense of humor that existed among the firemen, despite the challenges they faced. The London Fire Brigade's dedication to their mission and their ability to find levity in their work is a testament to their resilience and commitment to their community.
