EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, taken during World War II, firefighters from both the auxiliary and regular brigades are seen preparing their monitors and jets of water on the Thames near Westminster Bridge. The year is 1940, and the backdrop of the Houses of Parliament underscores the gravity of the situation. The fireboats, an essential component of London's firefighting arsenal during wartime, are a crucial part of the scene. The firefighters are engaged in a drill, practicing their techniques for pumping water from the boats to extinguish potential fires. A Thames barge is also present, providing additional resources for the firefighting effort. The monitors, large water cannons mounted on the fireboats, are being readied for action. The firefighters are dressed in their protective gear, their faces focused and determined as they work. The hoses are being coiled and secured, the pumps primed and ready to go. The scene is one of purpose and efficiency, as the brave men and women of the London Fire Brigade prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the London Fire Brigade during wartime. It serves as a reminder of the vital role that fireboats and their crews played in protecting the city from the threats of fire and destruction. The image captures a moment in history, a snapshot of a pivotal time when the firefighters of London were on the front lines, defending their city against the challenges of war.
