EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Wembley Fire Brigade's motorised pump-escape and crew in action during an Edwardian era firefighting operation. Established in 1894, Wembley Fire Brigade was an independent urban district council fire service that later became part of Middlesex County Council. In this image, we see the innovative motorised pump, a significant advancement in firefighting technology at the time. The vehicle, adorned with the distinctive Wembley Fire Brigade insignia, is manned by a team of brave firefighters, ready to tackle the blaze. The crew, dressed in their protective gear and helmets, are positioned around the vehicle, ensuring the appliance is prepared for action. The motorised pump, with its powerful engine, is equipped with a ladder and hose reels, enabling the team to reach great heights and extinguish fires effectively. The wheeled engine, a testament to the progression from horse-drawn carriages to motorised vehicles, was a game-changer in the fire service. The London Fire Brigade's rich history is showcased in this photograph, with the firefighters displaying a sense of determination and camaraderie as they work together to save lives and protect property. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the firefighters and the essential role they played in their communities. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery, dedication, and innovation that has defined the London Fire Brigade throughout its history.
