EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in London's firefighting history, as members of the London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade Committee embark on a tour of inspection in 1902. The committee, dressed in their formal attire, are seen here riding in an open Metropolitan Fire Brigade personnel carrier, which is drawn by a team of powerful horses. The horses and carts were still a common sight on the streets of London at the time, and this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past of the city's firefighting services. The tour was likely to include visits to selected fire stations or large-scale fire exercises, allowing the committee to assess the condition of the appliances and the readiness of the firefighters. The Metropolitan Fire Brigade, which was established in 1865, was the forerunner of the modern London Fire Brigade, and the LCC Fire Brigade Committee was responsible for overseeing its operations. The horses and carts, with their distinctive red livery, were an essential part of the fire brigade's transport system, and this photograph provides a unique insight into their role in the fire service. The Edwardian era was a time of great change in London, and this image serves as a reminder of the important work that was being carried out to ensure the safety of the city's residents. The horses, firemen, and fire appliances in this photograph all played a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of the London Fire Brigade, and this image offers a fascinating snapshot of life in the early 20th century. The open personnel carrier, with its proud members of the LCC Fire Brigade Committee aboard, is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of London's firefighters during this period.
