EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1900s, members of the Barnet Fire Brigade proudly pose with their new fire fighting equipment at their purpose-built station. Until 1903, Barnet relied on a voluntary fire brigade and a parish pump fire engine for firefighting emergencies. However, the arrival of a full-time professional force marked a significant turning point in the town's firefighting capabilities. The firemen, dressed in their Edwardian uniforms, are arranged around a range of impressive firefighting appliances. At the center of the image is a large, red fire engine, its steam-powered pump and hose reels ready for action. To the left, a fireman checks over the details of a steam appliance, while another adjusts the hose of a hydrant engine. In the background, a horse-drawn appliance stands ready, a reminder of the brigade's earlier days. The arrival of this professional fire brigade and modern equipment brought a new level of confidence and security to the people of Barnet. The full-time force, with its purpose-built station and advanced firefighting appliances, was a testament to the town's commitment to protecting its community from the destructive power of fire. This photograph captures a moment of pride and accomplishment, as the Barnet Fire Brigade prepared to face any challenge that might come their way.
