EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bravery and determination of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) firefighters as they tackle a house fire at 128 Tufnell Park Road, North London, on 12 March 1907. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for the London Fire Brigade, depicts firefighters in their Edwardian uniforms, hard at work with a horse-drawn escape cart and a steamer pump. The horse, harnessed to the cart, looks steadfast as the team maneuvers the heavy appliance through the crowded street. In the background, a ladder and a fire engine with a wheeled steam pump can be seen, adding to the chaotic scene. The use of horses and horse-drawn appliances was common during this era, as motorized fire engines had not yet become widespread. The firemen, wearing their distinctive helmets and coats, work diligently to contain the blaze and ensure the safety of those in the area. The old house, with its broken windows and blackened facade, stands as a testament to the destructive power of fire. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the early days of firefighting in London and the dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect their community.
