EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Dennis Breakdown Lorry (BL) of the Greater London Council Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) at Clapham Fire Station (B21) in London, England. The image was taken in the 1960s, following the creation of the GLC-LFB on 1 April 1965. The enlarged London Fire Brigade absorbed various types of fire engines into its fleet, and this Dennis Breakdown Lorry was the latest model in service. The Dennis Breakdown Lorry was a vital component of the fire brigade's fleet, designed to tow disabled fire engines or other vehicles to safety. The vehicle's primary function was to ensure the availability of operational fire engines, enabling the brigade to respond effectively to emergencies. The Dennis Breakdown Lorry in the photograph is seen parked at Clapham Fire Station, with its distinctive red livery and various tools and equipment visible. The vehicle's cab is adorned with the GLC-LFB badge, proudly displaying the organization's identity. The Dennis Breakdown Lorry was a crucial part of the GLC-LFB's fleet, providing essential support to the fire engines and ensuring their readiness for action. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of the London Fire Brigade, showcasing the diverse range of vehicles and equipment that were an integral part of its operations during the 1960s.
