EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a GLC-LFB Foam Tender, with a fixed monitor, is attached to East Ham fire station in East London, England, during the 1970s. The tender, which served as an essential piece of firefighting equipment, is filled with various stowage lockers and compartments, each holding vital firefighting tools and supplies. The foam tender, an appliance that complemented the fire engine, was specifically designed to discharge large quantities of foam to extinguish fires, particularly those involving flammable liquids. The image captures the raw power and readiness of the firefighting vehicles, with their engines idling and hoses coiled, ready for action. The fire station's red brick walls and the fire engine's shiny metal surface reflect the harsh light of the day, while the firefighters' helmets and uniforms add a sense of purpose and determination. The fixed monitor on the foam tender, a distinctive feature of the appliance, is positioned at the front, ready to be activated when needed. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1970s and the era of the London Fire Brigade's traditional firefighting methods. The image is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect the people and property of East London from the destructive effects of fire. The photograph is a valuable historical record, providing insight into the equipment and techniques used by the London Fire Brigade during this period.
