EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Southwark Emergency Tender and crew of the London Fire Brigade in the 1920s. By this era, emergency tenders had evolved significantly beyond mere carriers of firefighters with breathing apparatus and lighting equipment at incidents. This Dennis-branded vehicle, an early example of fire service transport, was outfitted with a range of innovative appliances and tools. The Southwark Emergency Tender was fashioned with advanced breathing apparatus to ensure the safety of both firefighters and the public from the hazardous effects of smoke and gases. However, its inventory extended far beyond that. Special cutting equipment was added to the tender, enabling the crew to access and rescue individuals trapped in buildings or vehicles. Furthermore, the tender was equipped with resuscitation apparatus, allowing the firefighters to revive those affected by the perilous conditions at the scene. The London Fire Brigade's Southwark Emergency Tender and crew embodied the spirit of progress and innovation during the 1920s. The firefighting community was constantly pushing the boundaries of technology and technique to save lives and mitigate the damage caused by fires. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and bravery of these early firefighters, who risked their lives to protect their communities from the destructive power of fire.
