EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic London Fire Brigade Headquarters building and the original Lambeth river fire station, both of which have played a significant role in the city's firefighting history. The image, taken in the 1950s, showcases the unique design of the floating pontoon station located on the River Thames, with the fireboat tender moving upriver towards Vauxhall Bridge in the background. The London Fire Brigade Headquarters, an imposing and impressive structure, stands proudly on the South Bank of the River Thames. Its distinctive red brick façade and tall chimney have become synonymous with the bravery and dedication of the firemen and firefighters who have served the city for generations. The original Lambeth river fire station, located on a floating pontoon, was a vital part of the brigade's operations during the 1950s. The station's strategic position on the River Thames allowed fireboats to quickly respond to fires on the water and along the riverbanks. The fireboat tender, with its powerful hoses and pumps, was a crucial asset in the brigade's arsenal, enabling firefighters to tackle blazes that threatened ships, barges, and other vessels. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the London Fire Brigade's headquarters and river stations were at the heart of the city's firefighting services. The image is a testament to the courage and skill of the firemen and firefighters who have protected London and its people for over a century.
