EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic NFS Dagenham fire station Pump Escape, registration number 36K-3Z1, at Regional Headquarters in Lambeth, SE1. The former local authority fire appliance, now a cherished relic of the past, remains in its original pre-WW2 livery and has not been repainted in the standard NFS battleship grey. The Pump Escape, a vehicle and engine combination, was a vital asset in the London Fire Brigade's (LFB) efforts to combat fires during the tumultuous 1940s. With the onset of World War II, the fire service faced unprecedented challenges as the city came under relentless bombing raids. Fire stations and their appliances became prime targets, and the need for quick and effective firefighting was more crucial than ever. The Pump Escape, with its distinctive red and gold livery, was a symbol of the courage and resilience of the LFB during the war. Its damage-free appearance in this photograph is a testament to the skill and determination of the firefighters who operated it. This photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime history of the London Fire Brigade, showcasing a time when the service's vehicles and personnel played a pivotal role in protecting the city from the devastating effects of war. The Pump Escape, with its unique pre-WW2 livery, stands as a reminder of the LFB's rich heritage and the sacrifices made by its brave men and women during the 1940s.
