EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of Lambeth Fire Station, the Brigade Headquarters of the London Fire Brigade in the 1950s. The image shows three appliances stationed in front of the fire station building: a pump-escape, a pump, and a 100-foot turntable ladder. The pump-escape, with its distinctive red and yellow stripes, is a versatile fire engine designed for use in both firefighting and rescue operations. The pump, with its large water tank and powerful hose, is a crucial piece of equipment for extinguishing fires. The 100-foot turntable ladder, towering above the other appliances, is an essential tool for reaching high-rise buildings and rescuing people from height. Three other appliances are housed in the sheds behind the station: an emergency tender, a breakdown lorry, and a canteen van. The emergency tender is equipped with a wide range of tools and equipment for dealing with various emergency situations. The breakdown lorry is used to maintain and repair the Brigade's vehicles, ensuring they are always ready for action. The canteen van provides refreshments and sustenance for firefighters during long hours on the job. The fire station, located on the busy streets of Lambeth, is a hive of activity, with firefighters constantly coming and going, preparing for the next call. The photograph captures the sense of purpose and dedication of the London Fire Brigade, as they stand ready to protect the city from the threats of fire and emergency situations.
