EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the summer of 1939, when the Petworth Fire Brigade stood united during a blackout. The image showcases a large group of dedicated firemen, their faces etched with determination and courage, as they gather outside a small part of Petworth House outbuildings. In this nostalgic snapshot captured by George Garland, we witness the camaraderie and unwavering spirit that defined these brave firefighters. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, they stand tall alongside an impressive vintage fire engine that served as their trusted ally in times of crisis. The scene evokes memories of an era when community bonds were unbreakable and public service was held in high regard. These men were not just ordinary citizens; they were everyday heroes who risked their lives to protect others from the devastating force of fires. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we are transported back to a time when fire stations echoed with excitement and anticipation for each call received. The vintage vehicles parked nearby serve as reminders of how far firefighting technology has advanced since those days. This print is more than just a historical artifact; it encapsulates the timeless bravery exhibited by these firefighters who selflessly put themselves on the line for our safety. It stands as a testament to their dedication and serves as an inspiration for future generations tasked with upholding such noble traditions.
