EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Service fire boat, SS Sambre, moored at Enderbys Wharf in Greenwich, South East London, during the 1930s. The SS Sambre was one of several fire boats operated by the London Fire Brigade to protect the city from fires on the River Thames. The image showcases the boat's distinctive red hull and the London Fire Brigade emblem on the side. Firemen can be seen standing on the deck, ready for action, while others are preparing to board a smaller rescue boat. The firemen wear their traditional uniforms, complete with helmets, coats, and trousers, which were designed to protect them from the heat and water during firefighting operations. The SS Sambre was a vital part of the London Fire Brigade's fleet, providing essential firefighting services on the River Thames. The boat was equipped with powerful pumps and hoses, allowing it to reach fires on ships or along the riverbanks quickly and effectively. The London Fire Brigade played a crucial role in protecting the city during this period, particularly during the Second World War when the risk of fires from enemy action was high. Enderbys Wharf, located in the historic maritime area of Greenwich, was an ideal base for the SS Sambre and other fire boats. The wharf provided easy access to the River Thames and allowed the fire boats to respond quickly to emergencies. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a reminder of the vital role that the London Fire Brigade and its fire boats played in protecting London and its people from the threat of fire on the River Thames during the 1930s.
