EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, taken during World War II, a group of firefighters gather around an external brick-built baking oven in the yard of an NFS (National Fire Service) sub-station. The year is 1941, and the 1940s are in full swing. The firemen, dressed in their white overalls and helmets, are busy at work, preparing fresh bread for their comrades. The NFS, the forerunner of the modern-day London Fire Brigade, played a crucial role during the war, providing essential firefighting services to protect London and its inhabitants from the constant threat of air raids and fires. With resources stretched thin, the firefighters had to be self-sufficient in many ways, including catering for their own meals. The brick-built baking oven in the yard of the sub-station was a testament to their resourcefulness and ingenuity. The firemen would have used bricks and other materials on hand to construct the oven, allowing them to bake fresh bread and other sustenance for their fellow firefighters. The warmth and smell of freshly baked bread would have been a welcome respite from the harsh realities of wartime life. The photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and solidarity among the firefighters, as they work together to ensure that their fellow servicemen and women are well-fed and well-supported. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the London Fire Brigade during the darkest days of World War II.
