EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Blitz in London during World War II, the Essex Fire Brigade's brave firefighters worked tirelessly to contain and extinguish a devastating oil tank fire that broke out at Thames Haven, near Thurrock, Essex on 8 September 1940. In this evocative photograph, two fire floats of the Essex Fire Brigade are moored alongside a jetty, supplying much-needed water from the River Thames to combat the inferno. The firemen on board operate portable pumps, transferring the water to the flames with great determination and skill. The scene is one of intense activity and urgency, with the smoke and flames from the burning oil tank billowing into the sky, casting an ominous shadow over the water. The damage caused by the bombing raids is evident in the background, with debris and rubble scattered around the area. This aerial view offers a unique perspective on the firefighting efforts during the Blitz, showcasing the bravery and resilience of the fire service personnel in the face of adversity. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the challenges and sacrifices made during the 2nd World War on the Home Front, and the vital role that the fire brigade played in protecting communities from the devastating effects of bombing raids and industrial accidents.
