EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from the extensive archives of the Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a vintage firefighting appliance from the London Fire Brigade (LFB) in the 1950s. The image highlights a rear-mounted enclosed pump, which was a common design during that era. The pump's sleek design is accentuated by the presence of the hosereel tubing, coiled neatly at the rear of the vehicle. The London Fire Brigade's fire appliances were a vital part of the city's infrastructure during the mid-20th century. This particular appliance, with its distinctive Leyland badge, would have been a familiar sight on the streets of London during fire emergencies. The firemen, dressed in their iconic uniforms, would have manned this appliance, ready to respond to any fire-related incidents. The enclosed pumping appliance was an essential piece of equipment in the fire brigade's fleet. Its enclosed design protected the pump from the elements, ensuring it was always ready for action. The hosereel tubing, which can be seen in the photograph, was an integral part of the appliance. It allowed the firemen to reach great heights and extend their reach, making it an invaluable tool in their firefighting arsenal. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the firefighting methods and equipment used by the London Fire Brigade during the 1950s. It is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firemen who risked their lives to keep London safe.
