EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's bulk foam carrier, C42, proudly stationed at Deptford Fire Station in the 1950s. The LCC-LFB (London County Council-London Fire Brigade) bulk foam carrier was a crucial addition to the firefighting fleet, designed to provide large quantities of foam for putting out fires, particularly those involving flammable liquids. The vehicle, adorned with the London Fire Brigade insignia, is seen here with its pump escape and pump at the ready. However, what sets this fire engine apart is its foam tender, which carried an impressive 100 x 5 gallon cans of foam compound. The tender also featured large foam-making branches and generators, enabling the firefighters to produce large amounts of foam on-site. This innovative design allowed the London Fire Brigade to effectively combat fires that threatened to engulf large areas with flammable liquids, such as petrol stations or industrial sites. The foam acted as a protective barrier between the fire and the fuel, preventing it from spreading and minimizing the risk of explosion. The photograph transports us back to the 1950s, a time when firefighting technology was advancing rapidly, and the London Fire Brigade was at the forefront of these developments. The image is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who operated these vehicles, risking their lives to keep London safe.
