EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1990s, the London Fire Brigade showcases their innovative LFCDA-LFB Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) at their headquarters in Lambeth, SE1. The ALP, a combination of a hydraulic platform and a heavy-duty ladder, was a remarkable addition to the Brigade's firefighting equipment. Due to its immense weight, this appliance was restricted to certain fire stations with sufficiently strong floor loadings. The image captures the ALP in action, with its stability telescopic jacks deployed. These jacks were essential for ensuring the platform's stability and safety during use. The hydraulic lift, a crucial component of the ALP, is visible in the background, ready to raise the platform to great heights, providing firefighters with unparalleled access to high-rise buildings and other hard-to-reach areas. The London Fire Brigade's ALP was a true testament to the advancements in firefighting technology during the 1990s. This powerful and versatile appliance, manufactured by Bronto-Skylift, was a valuable asset in the Brigade's arsenal, enabling them to effectively tackle fires in tall structures and save lives. The red ALP, with its distinctive design and robust construction, stands proudly on the road, ready for transport to the scene of an emergency. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the London Fire Brigade's history and the evolution of their equipment, showcasing their commitment to providing the best possible service to the people of London.
