EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Dennis Rolls Royce pump fire engine (GLC-LFB) from Euston Fire Station (A23) in London, as it stood proudly ready for action in the 1960s. The GLC-LFB was formed on 1st April 1965, and as part of the enlargement of the London Fire Brigade (LFB), a series of photographs was commissioned to document each type of fire engine, including this manual petrol-driven appliance. The Dennis Rolls Royce fire engine, with its distinctive red body and white lettering, was a dual-purpose pump designed to provide both water and escape facilities for firefighters. Its powerful engine and pumping capabilities made it an essential asset for the London Fire Brigade during emergencies. This particular appliance, stationed at Euston Fire Station, is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who operated it. The vehicle's robust design and versatility were crucial in ensuring the safety of Londoners during the 1960s. The Dennis Rolls Royce pump fire engine is a significant piece of London's firefighting history, and this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, when fire engines like this one were the first responders in times of crisis. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role that fire engines and their dedicated crews continue to play in protecting our communities.
