1. Title: "30 Significant Fire Incidents in the LCC-LFB Area: A Historical Overview" 2.. This annotated map from the London Fire Brigade (LFB) archives, held at Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases thirty notable fire incidents that occurred in the LCC-LFB area between the 1930s and 1939. The London County Council (LCC) and the London Fire Brigade collaborated to provide fire protection services to the Greater London area during this period. 3. The map, produced in the 1930s, highlights various incidents marked with red pins, each representing a significant fire event. These incidents include residential fires, factory blazes, and other major incidents that required the intervention of the LFB. 4. The map serves as a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters during this era, who risked their lives to protect the people and properties of London. The LFB's records provide valuable insights into the causes and consequences of these incidents, as well as the firefighting methods and equipment used at the time. 5. Some of the most notable incidents marked on the map include the fire at the Royal Arsenal Woolwich, which destroyed several buildings in 1933, and the fire at the Battersea Power Station in 1938, which caused extensive damage to the iconic structure. 6. The map also reveals the distribution of fires across the LCC-LFB area, with some areas, such as the East End, experiencing a higher incidence of fires due to their dense population and industrial activity. 7. This annotated map offers a unique perspective on the history of firefighting in London during the 1930s and provides valuable context for understanding the role of the LFB in protecting the city from fire hazards.
