EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in London's firefighting history. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, the image showcases a demonstration by the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) at The Kentish Mercury office in Greenwich during 1938. In this snapshot from between the wars, we witness brave firefighters clad in their distinctive uniforms as they undergo rigorous training. A ladder is propped against the building while one firefighter stands atop it, showcasing their expertise and bravery. Another firefighter operates a water spray with precision, sending a powerful jet of water into the air. The dense smoke billowing around them adds an element of drama to the scene. This photograph serves as a testament to the dedication and courage exhibited by these men who risked their lives daily to protect their community. It also offers us a glimpse into life in Europe during this tumultuous period of history. With its monochrome aesthetic, this timeless image transports us back to 1930s London, evoking nostalgia for an era long gone. Through Topham's lens, we are reminded of both the challenges faced by firefighters and their unwavering commitment to public safety. As we admire this piece of European photography preserved within Europeana's collection, let us honor those who have served on our frontlines throughout history – valiant individuals like these firefighters who selflessly put themselves in harm's way for the greater good.
