EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, Barnet Fire Brigade fire crews are seen outside their fire station, ready for action. The fire station, located in the north London borough of Barnet, is a hive of activity as fire engines and other appliances are prepared for service. The firemen, dressed in their traditional uniforms, are busy checking over the vehicles and ensuring that all equipment is in order. The fire engines, with their distinctive red bodies and brass fittings, are a testament to the technology of the time. The vehicles, which would have been horse-drawn just a few decades prior, now boast powerful engines and advanced equipment to tackle fires more effectively. The appliances, including hoses and ladders, are neatly arranged beside the engines, ready to be loaded on. The Barnet Fire Brigade, part of the London Fire Brigade, was established in 1865 and played a vital role in protecting the communities of north London. The firemen, who were all volunteers at the time, were dedicated to ensuring the safety of their neighbours and were often called upon to respond to fires in the local area. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of firefighting in the 1920s. The fire crews, with their determined expressions and focused demeanour, are a reminder of the bravery and dedication of the men and women who serve in the fire service. The appliances, which have since been replaced by more modern vehicles, are a reminder of the important role that transport and equipment play in the firefighting process. Overall, this photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era in the history of the London Fire Brigade.
