EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the LCC-LFB Merryweather self-propelled Hatfield pump, one of the first motorized fire engines in the London Fire Brigade's (LFB) fleet. The image, taken in the early 1900s during the Edwardian era, depicts the entire station duty watch of firefighters having climbed aboard the vehicle for the benefit of the photographer. The pump, manufactured by Merryweather, was capable of an impressive speed of 30 miles per hour, making it a significant advancement in firefighting transportation and response times. The crew, dressed in their brass helmets and uniforms, are seen standing and sitting on the vehicle, ready to attend to any emergency. The Hatfield pump, with its distinctive design and large wheels, is a testament to the innovation and progress being made in firefighting equipment during this period. The LCC-LFB, which stood for the London County Council-London Fire Brigade, was responsible for the provision and maintenance of firefighting appliances and services in London at the time. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insight into the early days of motorized fire engines and the role they played in revolutionizing firefighting capabilities. The image is a reminder of the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect their communities, and the importance of continuous advancements in technology and equipment to ensure the effective and efficient response to emergencies.
