EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the West Ham Fire Brigade's Plaistow fire station and its impressive steamer, a vital piece of firefighting equipment from the Victorian era. Located to the east of the London Fire Brigade district, West Ham was home to four fire stations, each with its unique character and role in protecting the community. Plaistow fire station, with its red-brick facade and tall chimney, housed brave firefighters who were always ready to answer the call for assistance. The photograph reveals a bustling scene of firefighters in their traditional uniforms, preparing for duty. The horses, harnessed to the tender, appear calm and obedient, while the crew members attend to the steamer's intricate machinery. The steamer, an essential appliance in the fire brigade's arsenal, was capable of pumping large volumes of water to extinguish fires. Its powerful presence underscores the importance of firefighting technology during this era. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of firefighters during the late 19th century. The camaraderie and dedication of the crew members are palpable, as they work together to ensure the safety of their community. This photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the West Ham Fire Brigade, whose legacy continues to inspire and protect generations of firefighters.
