EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the aftermath of a devastating fire in Hare Street, London SE18, is captured in intricate detail. The retail shop and dwellings above have been seriously affected, with the upper floors engulfed in smoke and flames. The London Fire Brigade, represented by the distinctive red fire engine and the Divisional Breathing Apparatus control van to the right, worked tirelessly to combat the blaze and prevent it from spreading to neighboring properties. The scene is bustling with activity as firefighters in protective gear move about, directing hoses and checking for hotspots. The road is closed off, and the once vibrant street now stands still, as the community comes together to support those affected by the disaster. The van from the Divisional Breathing Apparatus control unit attended the scene when reinforcements were requested, ensuring that the firefighters had the necessary equipment to battle the flames effectively. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and dedication of the firefighters during a time when fires could quickly spread and devastate entire communities. The image is a poignant reminder of the vital role that emergency services play in keeping our neighborhoods safe. The London Fire Brigade, founded in 1865, has a rich history of protecting the city from fires and other emergencies. This photograph, taken in 1961, is a testament to their commitment and the importance of their work. The image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs available at Mary Evans Picture Library.
