EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and complexity of a major fire incident in London during the 1950s. The London Fire Brigade's (LFB) Major Control Unit, with its distinctive signage and turntable ladder vehicle, is in attendance. The Control Unit, with its dedicated operational staff, was dispatched to all significant fires and incidents. In the rain-soaked street, firefighters are seen in action, battling the flames with hoses and hosepipes. Smoke billows from the burning building, obscuring the scene and adding to the chaotic atmosphere. Police officers are also present, ensuring the safety of the public and maintaining order. The Major Control Unit played a crucial role in coordinating the response to such incidents and providing essential resources and support to frontline firefighters. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of firefighting in London during the 1950s, a time when the LFB's quick and effective response was vital in protecting the city's buildings and people from the destructive power of fire.
