EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a Morris utility van from the Water Section of the Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) at Brigade Headquarters in Lambeth, London, in the 1960s. The GLC-LFB was established on 1 April 1965, and as part of the documentation of the new enlarged London Fire Brigade, a series of photos were commissioned to showcase each type of fire engine, including those from the Water Section, which were responsible for overseeing the administration and liaison with water companies regarding the tens of thousands of hydrants in the Brigade area. In this image, a Morris van from the Croydon Water Section is seen parked at Brigade HQ. The van, fitted with essential equipment and supplies, was a vital component of the firefighting transport fleet, ensuring the smooth operation of water supply services during emergencies. The 1960s-era Morris van, with its utilitarian design and purposeful presence, adds to the historical significance of this photograph, showcasing the transition of the London Fire Brigade into a larger, more comprehensive organization.
