EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of LCC-LFB Holloway Fire Station's appliance room in North London, specifically located on Mayton Street and opened in 1907. The heart of the station's operations, the appliance room is where fire engines and other essential equipment were housed, ready for immediate deployment. In this image, two key pieces of equipment take center stage. The self-propelled pump, a vital tool for extinguishing fires, sits proudly in the foreground. Its powerful engine and hoses were capable of pumping large volumes of water to tackle even the most intense blazes. The pump-escape stand, located to its right, ensured the safety of firefighters by providing a secure platform for them to escape from burning buildings. The far wall of the appliance room is adorned with firefighters' gear, neatly hung by the station watchroom/office. This essential equipment, including helmets, breathing apparatus, and coats, was always at the ready for the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect their community. The year is 1914, and the London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade, later to become the London Fire Brigade, had already established a reputation for professionalism and dedication. The transport and equipment in the appliance room were state-of-the-art for the time, reflecting the commitment of the brigade to providing the best possible service to the people of London. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a reminder of the vital role that fire stations and their appliance rooms play in our communities. The self-propelled pump, pump-escape stand, and firefighters' gear all stand ready, a testament to the unwavering commitment of the brave men and women who serve in the fire service.
