EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1908, showcases the Croydon Fire Brigade's horse-drawn steam pump at their headquarters in Croydon Town. At the time, the Croydon Fire Brigade operated three stations: Croydon, Thornton Heath, and South Norwood. This image highlights the central role of the Croydon station and its impressive steam-powered appliance. The crew, dressed in their Edwardian uniforms, are shown posing proudly next to the steam-powered pump, which was a vital piece of equipment in their firefighting arsenal. The horse-drawn cart, adorned with the Croydon Fire Brigade insignia, adds to the historical charm of the scene. The steam pump, with its large, cylindrical boiler and intricate pumps, was a testament to the advanced technology of the time. The horses, harnessed to the cart, were essential in transporting the appliance to the scene of a fire. The crew would then connect the pump to a water source, such as a hydrant, to begin pumping water to extinguish the flames. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and hard work of the Croydon Fire Brigade crew during the Edwardian era. The horse-drawn steam pump was a symbol of the brigade's commitment to protecting their community, and this image serves as a reminder of the evolution of firefighting equipment and techniques over the years.
