EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the LCC-LFB Clerkenwell emergency tender, a vital piece of equipment in the London Fire Brigade's arsenal during the early 1900s. The emergency tender, belonging to Clerkenwell fire station, was primarily used to provide firefighters with essential breathing apparatus and illumination at incidents. The Dennis petrol-driven machine, shown here, was an innovative design that integrated an electrical generator, allowing the tender to power the breathing apparatus and provide light at the scene of a fire. The use of emergency tenders can be traced back to the Manchester Fire Brigade in 1904, making this type of appliance a significant development in firefighting technology. The LCC-LFB Clerkenwell tender, with its powerful petrol engine and integrated electrical system, would have been a game-changer in the response to emergency situations. The vehicle's design was crucial for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of firefighters during their operations. The provision of breathing apparatus enabled them to work in hazardous environments, while the illumination helped to increase visibility and improve the overall efficiency of firefighting efforts. This Dennis petrol-driven machine, with its advanced features, represented a major improvement in the transport and equipment capabilities of the London Fire Brigade. The LCC-LFB Clerkenwell emergency tender, a testament to the progress made in firefighting technology during this era, remains an important part of fire service history.
