EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the hustle and bustle of Bishopsgate Fire Station in the City of London during the 1930s. The image showcases three essential firefighting appliances – a pump, an escape ladder, and a turntable ladder – lined up on the forecourt, each with its dedicated crew standing by. The London Fire Brigade's vehicles and engines were the backbone of the city's firefighting services during this era, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily routine of these brave men and women. The pump, with its distinctive red body and large wheels, was the workhorse of the fire station. It was used to pump water from hydrants to extinguish fires. The escape ladder, a vital piece of equipment for rescuing people from high-rise buildings, is shown fully extended, ready for action. The turntable ladder, a versatile appliance that could be used for both firefighting and rescue operations, is shown in its lowered position, with its crew preparing to deploy it. The firefighters, dressed in their iconic uniforms, are seen in various stages of readiness. Some are checking their equipment, while others are engaged in animated conversations. The sense of camaraderie and teamwork is palpable, as they prepare to respond to the next emergency call. This photograph, taken by the London Fire Brigade for Mary Evans Picture Library, is a captivating reminder of the vital role that fire stations and their crews played in keeping the City of London safe during the 1930s. It is a testament to the dedication, courage, and professionalism of the firefighters, who continue to serve their communities with unwavering commitment and bravery to this day.
