EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts London Fire Brigade firefighters in the midst of their heroic efforts to extinguish a raging inferno at Corry & Co premises located on the corner of Gainsford Street and Maguire Street in Shad Thames, SE1, on the chilly night of 19 February 1958. The first floor of the building was already engulfed in flames, with the fire rapidly spreading to the upper floors and roof. The intense heat and darkness of the scene necessitated the withdrawal of crews from inside the building, and the focus shifted to external attacks using hosepipes and extension ladders. The firefighters, dressed in their iconic uniforms and helmets, bravely battled the flames, their hoses spewing jets of water in an attempt to contain the blaze. The night sky was filled with thick, smoky air, as the fire continued to spread and illuminate the darkened streets of London. The historical image, taken in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and dedication of the London Fire Brigade during a critical moment in their service history.
