EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the historic Kingston fire station in SW London, originally built for the Surrey Fire Brigade in the early 20th century. The station, which dates back to 1935, is a fine example of Art Deco architecture, with its distinctive curved roof and geometric patterns. The building, located in Kingston upon Thames, was one of the last fire stations to be transferred from the Surrey Fire Brigade to the Greater London Fire Brigade in 1965. The photograph, taken in the 1990s, shows the station in its prime, with fire engines and personnel ready for action. The Thames River, a prominent feature of the area, can be seen in the background, reflecting the calm before the storm. Firefighting equipment and vehicles are neatly arranged in the station yard, a testament to the dedication and readiness of the firefighters. The London Fire Brigade, which took over the station, has a rich history of its own, having served the people of London since 1865. The brigade's mission is to protect life, prevent fires, and minimize damage to property. The Kingston fire station, with its proud tradition and modern facilities, continues to play a vital role in achieving this goal. This photograph, taken in the 1990s, offers a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the essential role that fire stations and firefighters play in our communities. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of firefighting and the commitment of the men and women who serve in this noble profession." Mary Evans Picture Library / London Fire Brigade.
