EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two Dennis fire tenders of the London Fire Brigade stand proudly ready for action, their powerful engines idling quietly in the background. The year is 1920s, and the scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling city street, where the sounds of horse-drawn carts and motor cars mingle with the distant sirens of the fire engines. The first tender on the left, with its distinctive red bodywork and gold lettering, bears the number "14" on its side. Its large water tank, mounted at the rear, is filled and ready to be discharged through the long hose coiled neatly on the bed of the vehicle. The second tender, numbered "16," is slightly smaller in size but equally well-equipped, with a compact water tank and a more streamlined design. Both tenders are adorned with the emblem of the London Fire Brigade, a fearless phoenix rising from the ashes, a symbol of the bravery and resilience of the firefighters who manned these vehicles. The Dennis tender was a mainstay of the London Fire Brigade's fleet during the early 20th century, and these vehicles played a crucial role in the city's firefighting efforts. With their robust design, ample water capacity, and versatile equipment, they were essential tools in the fight against the frequent fires that threatened the densely populated areas of London. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the vital role that fire tenders and their dedicated crews have played in protecting our communities from the destructive power of fire.
