EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the London Fire Brigade's Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) during a large-scale fire exercise in the 1960s. The AFS was a volunteer organization that played a crucial role in firefighting in London before the Civil Defence Corps was disbanded in the late 1960s. The members of the AFS would attend their local fire station regularly for drills and training, preparing them for emergencies. The image showcases a convoy of vehicles and engines from the AFS, making their way to the site of the exercise. The fire engines, emblazoned with the distinctive London Fire Brigade logo, are loaded with equipment and ready for action. Firemen, dressed in their protective gear and helmets, can be seen standing by their vehicles, looking focused and determined. The exercise was likely designed to test the AFS's ability to respond effectively to a large-scale fire, and the convoy's arrival at the scene would have been a reassuring sight for those in the community. The AFS played an essential role in ensuring that London was prepared for emergencies, and this photograph is a testament to their dedication and commitment. The London Fire Brigade's Auxiliary Fire Service was an integral part of London's firefighting history, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It is a reminder of the vital role that volunteers played in keeping the city safe during a time when firefighting resources were more limited than they are today.
