EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a horse-drawn escape cart of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) from the late Victorian or Edwardian era. The cart is carrying one of the longest versions of the wheeled escape ladder, measuring an impressive 75 feet in length. Before the advent of horse-drawn turntable ladders, this 75-foot wheeled escape ladder was the tallest appliance in the Brigade's inventory. The image portrays the cart being drawn by a team of powerful horses, their coats glistening with sweat from the arduous labor. The ladder itself is positioned vertically at the back of the cart, its rungs and metal rails gleaming in the sepia-toned photograph. The cart's body is adorned with intricate details, including ornate metalwork and the London Fire Brigade insignia. The horse-drawn escape cart was an essential piece of equipment for the London Fire Brigade during this time, providing firefighters with a vital means of reaching great heights to rescue people from burning buildings. The cart's long ladder allowed firefighters to access upper stories, making it an indispensable tool in the Brigade's extensive arsenal of firefighting appliances. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horsepower and human ingenuity were the keys to saving lives in the face of fire. The sepia tones add to the nostalgic atmosphere, making this image a captivating addition to any collection of historical firefighting memorabilia.
