EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, taken at the London Fire Brigade headquarters in Southwark in the early 1900s, firefighters are seen diligently working in the drill yard, preparing hose lines from a motorised fire pump. The LCC-LFB motorised pump, a vital piece of equipment in the firefighting arsenal of the time, is fashioned with a petrol engine, and its powerful jets are ready to be unleashed against any potential blaze. The firefighters, dressed in their old-fashioned uniforms, are focused on their task, their expressions serious and determined. The motorised pump, with its large wheels and impressive size, sits prominently in the foreground, while in the background, other fire appliances and engines can be seen lined up, ready for action. The drill yard, with its various buildings and structures, provides an authentic backdrop to this scene of firefighting training. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, was one of the first organized firefighting services in the world. This photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, captures a moment in time when the brigade was transitioning from horse-drawn fire engines to motorised vehicles. The motorised pump, with its innovative design and technology, was an essential addition to the brigade's fleet, allowing firefighters to respond more quickly and effectively to emergencies. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the London Fire Brigade and its firefighters, who have been serving their community for over a century. The image also offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of firefighting and the evolution of firefighting equipment.
