EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic image of a London Fire Brigade Heavy Unit (Pump) from the National Fire Service (NFS) in action during World War II. The Heavy Unit, a workhorse of the firefighting service throughout the conflict, was built to a Home Office design and specification. With its distinctive red body and bold white lettering, this appliance was a common sight on the streets of London during the 1940s. The Heavy Unit was the backbone of the firefighting service during this period, and many hundreds of these vehicles were distributed throughout the country and across London. Designed to carry a powerful pump and large water tank, the Heavy Unit was capable of delivering large volumes of water to tackle the most challenging fires. In this image, we see the unit's ladder extended, ready to access upper floors or reach great heights. The firefighters, dressed in their protective gear, are poised to attack the flames with determination and skill. The engine, with its large wheels, is ready to move quickly to the next emergency. The London Fire Brigade's Heavy Unit was a symbol of resilience and strength during a time of great adversity. Its presence on the streets of London served as a reminder that even in the midst of war, the essential services that keep communities safe and secure would continue to operate. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect the city during World War II.
