EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of London Fire Brigade firemen engaged in a hose cart drill at Fire Station D, located on Floating Platform Wharf in Rotherhithe, SE London, during the 1930s. The fire station, which was not part of the Pennyfields or Poplar divisions, was unique for its floating platform design, allowing it to be easily accessed from the Thames. In this image, we see firemen in their traditional uniforms, each manning a section of the hose cart. Their focused expressions and determined body language convey the seriousness and urgency of their training. The hose cart, an essential piece of firefighting equipment, is positioned on the pavement, ready for deployment. A ladder is also visible in the background, indicating that the firemen were prepared for various types of emergencies. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, has a rich history of serving the community and protecting lives and property. Fire stations like Fire Station D played a crucial role in ensuring that the brigade was always ready to respond to calls for help. The 1930s was a period of significant growth for the London Fire Brigade, with new equipment and techniques being introduced to enhance their capabilities. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the London Fire Brigade firemen during that era. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the daily routines and training of these brave men who put their lives on the line to keep their communities safe.
