EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of unity and determination during World War II as displayed in the London Fire Brigade (LFB) exhibition. The image showcases a collection of photographs and firefighting appliances, proudly showcasing the bravery and resilience of the firefighters during this pivotal period in history. In the foreground, a series of WW2 recruitment posters for the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) are prominently displayed. The AFS was a voluntary organization of civilians who provided essential firefighting services alongside the regular fire brigade during the war. The posters, with their bold typography and striking imagery, call for men and women to join the AFS and play their part in protecting their communities. Communication and control were crucial during this time, and the LFB exhibition highlights the special services that ensured the effective coordination of firefighting efforts. The photograph reveals a radio control room staffed by dedicated personnel, ensuring that the brigade's resources were deployed efficiently and effectively. The London Fire Brigade's exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the history and heritage of the fire service during the 2nd World War. From the brave firemen and women who answered the call to duty, to the innovative technology and communication methods that kept the city safe, this exhibition is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit.
