EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Motorised 75-foot Ladder Appliance, London Fire Brigade, 1920s. This photograph showcases the Motorised 75-foot Ladder Appliance of the London Fire Brigade in the 1920s. The image depicts a fire engine, adorned with the distinctive London Fire Brigade insignia, towing a large, motorised ladder appliance. The ladder, extending to an impressive height of 75 feet, is ready to be deployed in case of a high-rise building fire or other emergencies requiring vertical access. The Motorised 75-foot Ladder Appliance was a significant innovation during the 1920s, revolutionising firefighting operations in London. Prior to this, firefighters had to rely on manually operated ladders, which were time-consuming and physically demanding. Motorising the ladder not only increased efficiency but also improved safety for firefighters. The engine and ladder appliance are connected by a tow bar, allowing them to travel together as a single unit. This configuration enabled the fire brigade to respond more quickly to emergencies, as both the engine and ladder could be dispatched together. The photograph captures the essence of the 1920s firefighting era, with its combination of traditional fire engines and modern innovations like motorised ladders. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to investing in advanced equipment during this period set the stage for the evolution of firefighting services in the city and beyond. This photograph is an intriguing reminder of the rich history of firefighting in London and the continuous efforts to adapt and innovate in order to better serve the community.
