EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the NFS-London Region 50ft wheeled escape ladder, a vital piece of equipment used by the London Fire Brigade during World War II. The ladder, with its distinctive Ajax style design, is seen wound out in its carriage at Fire Force Area 34, Acton fire station located at 24 Gunnersbury Lane, Acton, West London. The 50ft wheeled escape ladder was an essential tool for firefighters during this period, providing access to upper floors and buildings that were inaccessible by other means. The London Fire Brigade played a crucial role during the war, with fire stations and firefighters working tirelessly to respond to fires and other emergencies. The use of wheeled escape ladders like this one allowed firefighters to reach great heights and save lives in a time when high-rise buildings and other structures were common in urban areas. This photograph, taken likely in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and dedication of the London Fire Brigade during wartime. The 2nd World War was a challenging time for firefighters, with fires caused by bombing raids and other hazards adding to their already heavy workload. The use of wheeled escape ladders like this one was a testament to their resourcefulness and commitment to protecting the people of London. This photograph is a reminder of the important role that firefighting equipment and apparatus played during the war, and the vital function that the London Fire Brigade continues to serve in the community today.
