EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a major fire at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich, London SE18, as responded to by the London Fire Brigade in the mid-1950s. The parade ground of the historic academy, located in the heart of the Royal Arsenal, is filled with the sight and sound of multiple fire appliances, their engines roaring as they prepare to tackle the blaze within the building. The dedication and professionalism of the firefighting crews are evident as they quickly and efficiently deploy their hoses and equipment, ready to take on the challenge. The image, taken by the renowned photographic agency Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the LFB's bravery and expertise were crucial in protecting the people and buildings of London from the destructive power of fire. This photograph is a testament to the vital role of the fire service in our communities and their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe.
