EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Sub Officer Dolly Gray of the London Fire Brigade's photography section is seen in action at the scene of a fire, her keen eyes focused through the viewfinder of her camera. The year is 1966, and the 1960s are in full swing. Dolly, along with two other Sub Officers in the brigade, was responsible for attending all fires of special interest, fatal fires, and those requiring more than eight pumps. Their role was to record evidence and document the incident for future reference. Dolly's service to the London Fire Brigade spanned several decades, and her expertise in photography was invaluable to the organization. She is seen here wearing her distinctive firefighting uniform, complete with helmet and heavy coat, which she donned despite the challenges it presented when operating her camera. The open doors of the brigade's van reveal a collection of cameras and photographic equipment, ready for use at a moment's notice. The London Fire Brigade's photography section played a crucial role in the service's history, providing evidence for investigations, training materials, and public relations purposes. Dolly's dedication and skill are evident in the many photographs she captured during her career, offering a unique insight into the world of firefighting in the 1960s. This photograph is a testament to the important work of the London Fire Brigade's photography section and the invaluable role of Sub Officer Dolly Gray. Her unwavering commitment to her craft and her service to the community continue to inspire and captivate us today.
