I passed Shipley fire station one wet afternoon and saw these men on duty outside so having my camera I went and asked if I could take some photographs for the Leeds photo daily. The answer as you can see was yes provided I did not get in the way.
The above firefighters are some of blue watch on duty and I think testing their readiness to fight fire and rescue people.
My uncle Sid was a fireman in the East End of London for many years and I grew up with great admiration for these men and women.
Shipley Fire Station is on Saltaire Road, Shipley in West Yorkshire.
