The incident was particularly dangerous due to the presence of chemicals and the potential threat to a nearby petrol station and gasworks. The firemen in the photograph is likely to be the Station Officer, possibly from Station 10 Finchley Fire Station. A Divisional Officer unfortunately lost his life at the scene. Henry Grant made 10 photographs of the event.
