EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blast from the Past: London Fire Brigade Museum Models - Winchester House 2.. Step back in time and explore the rich history of firefighting in London with this photograph from the London Fire Brigade Museum, featuring two intricately detailed models of horse-drawn fire engines - the Winchester House, typical of those used by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade from 1866 to 1904 and during the early years of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) until 1933. The first engine, adorned with red bodywork and brass fittings, is a steam pump appliance. The steam engine, housed within the body of the engine, would generate the power necessary to pump water from hydrants or other water sources to extinguish fires. Horses, connected to the wheels via harnesses, provided the necessary traction and mobility to transport the engine to the scene of the emergency. The second model, also a horse-drawn appliance, is a hand-drawn hose reel. This essential piece of equipment allowed firefighters to quickly and efficiently lay out lengths of hose to reach distant fires or to create a water supply for the steam pump engine. These models, part of the extensive collection at the London Fire Brigade Museum, offer a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of firefighting technology and the dedication of the brave men and women who have served to protect London's residents for over 150 years.
