EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early days of firefighting in Heston and Isleworth, Middlesex, England, around 1910. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for the London Fire Brigade (LFB) and now part of the Mary Evans Picture Library collection, showcases the dedication and bravery of the firefighters who served the Heston and Isleworth Urban District Council Fire Brigade during the Edwardian era. The photograph features a horse-drawn escape cart, a vital piece of equipment during this period when motorized fire engines were not yet common. The cart, which could carry up to six people, was used to transport firefighters and victims to safety during emergencies. The fire officer, dressed in his full uniform, stands proudly next to the cart, ready for action. The fire brigade, which served the Heston and Isleworth Urban District Council, would have responded to various types of calls, including structural fires, vehicle fires, and even animal rescues. The exact location of this photograph is unknown, but it likely depicts the fire station or a busy street in the district. The horse-drawn escape cart and the fire officer in this photograph offer a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the early days of firefighting and the essential role that horse-drawn vehicles played in emergency services before the advent of motorized engines. This photograph is a testament to the courage and commitment of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect their communities during the early 20th century.
