LCC-LFB Dual purpose appliances (pump escape)

Introduced into the London Fire Brigade in 1934, dual purpose appliances meant that the ladders the fire engines carried were interchangeable. The fire engine shown is a pump escape; however it could also carry a 30 foot extension ladder and be deemed a pump. The fire engine pictured is from No 1 station, Southwark, the headquarters fire station located at Southwark Bridge Road SE1

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a historic dual purpose appliance from the London Fire Brigade, specifically a pump escape, which was introduced to the brigade in 1934. The innovative design of these appliances allowed the ladders carried by the fire engines to be interchangeable, making them both pump and escape vehicles. The engine depicted in the image is from No. 1 Station, Southwark, which served as the headquarters fire station located at Southwark Bridge Road SE1. The vehicle is a remarkable example of the fire brigade's transport and equipment during the 1930s. The crew would use this wheeled engine to fight fires with its powerful pump, while also having the capability to carry a 30-foot extension ladder for rescue operations. The versatility of these appliances significantly enhanced the brigade's ability to respond effectively to various emergency situations. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and its commitment to serving the community during the 1930s.
