EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the 13th of October 1937, as the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) of London showcased their historic Shand Mason steam pump and crew during a special drill display for chief officers of provincial fire brigades at the Lambeth headquarters of the London Fire Brigade (LFB). The annual displays and reviews were a popular feature at the LFB, providing an opportunity to showcase the working Victorian horse-drawn steam fire pumps with their crew in period dress, including brass helmets. The Shand Mason Metropolitan Fire Brigade steam pump, with its intricate design and impressive size, was a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. The team of firefighters, dressed in their old-fashioned uniforms, expertly maneuvered the horse-drawn appliance, demonstrating their skills and knowledge. The steam pump, with its horses in tow, was a powerful and traditional firefighting tool, transporting water to the scene of a fire to extinguish it. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the heritage and history of firefighting in London during the 1930s.
