EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the LCC-LFB A diesel AEC-Merryweather Dennis pump, a historic appliance housed at the London Fire Brigade Headquarters drill yard in Lambeth SE1. The dual-purpose fire engine, manufactured in the late 1970s, is a testament to the evolution of firefighting vehicles during the 1970s. The AEC-Merryweather Dennis pump is a unique combination of a command unit and a pumping appliance, designed to provide both firefighting capabilities and operational control. Despite its important role in the brigade's fleet, this appliance is notably missing hosereels, which are essential for delivering water to the fire scene. The vehicle's exterior showcases a vibrant red finish with the London Fire Brigade logo prominently displayed on the sides. The engine compartment houses a powerful Dennis diesel engine, while the body of the appliance is adorned with various equipment and compartments. The ladder at the rear of the vehicle is raised, indicating that it has been prepared for a call-out. The London Fire Brigade's Headquarters drill yard in Lambeth has been a crucial training ground for firefighters for many years. This photograph, taken in 1977, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the London Fire Brigade's rich history and the evolution of its firefighting equipment. The AEC-Merryweather Dennis pump, with its distinctive design and dual-purpose functionality, is a reminder of the vital role that fire engines have played in protecting London's communities over the decades.
