EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken during the extended refuse collection strike in the early 1970s, London Fire Brigade firefighters tackle a rubbish fire on the pavement. The industrial action, which lasted for weeks, resulted in piles of uncollected waste and rubbish littering the streets of London. The situation became so dire that fires were started to rid the streets of the mounting piles of refuse. The London Fire Brigade, already burdened with their normal workload, found themselves fighting an additional battle against the rubbish fires. The image captures the intensity and urgency of the situation, with thick smoke billowing from the blaze and firefighters in protective gear working diligently to put it out. The extended refuse collection strike was a significant event in London's history, highlighting the challenges of industrial action and the importance of essential services. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the dedication and hard work of the London Fire Brigade during this time, as they went above and beyond their regular duties to keep the city safe. The 1970s was a decade marked by industrial action and social change, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by Londoners during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the city's firefighters, who continued to put their lives on the line to protect their communities, even in the most difficult of circumstances. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical record of an important moment in London's history. It offers a unique insight into the city's past, and serves as a testament to the bravery and commitment of the London Fire Brigade.
