EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Hendon Fire Brigade in action at their fire station in the 1920s. The Hendon Fire Brigade was established in 1855 and was originally a volunteer force that kept a manual fire engine in a building near the church. By the 1860s, it had been renamed the Hendon Volunteer Fire Brigade. In this image, we see the brigade's progression into the modern era with their motorised pump escape, a significant advancement in firefighting technology at the time. The crew members, dressed in their uniforms and helmets, are ready to respond to any emergency. The fire station, with its red brick facade and large bay doors, stands as a testament to the important role the Hendon Fire Brigade played in protecting the community. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the history of firefighting in Hendon and its eventual absorption into the existing Middlesex Fire Brigade. The vehicle, appliance, and crew depicted in this image are all essential components of the fire service, showcasing the teamwork and dedication required to keep the public safe.
