EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the early days of the London Fire Brigade's (LFB) Magirus 85 foot turntable ladder and its dedicated crew, proudly displayed in the drill yard of Southwark headquarters, No.1 station, located in Southwark Bridge Road SE1, in 1916. The Magirus ladder, a vital piece of transported firefighting equipment, was a marvel of engineering in its time, with a height capability far surpassing that of traditional ladders. The crew, dressed in their old-fashioned uniforms, appear focused and ready for action, their faces a mix of determination and concentration. The drill yard, filled with various firefighting vehicles and appliances, serves as a testament to the importance of preparation and training in the crucial work of firefighting. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and professionalism of the LFB's early firefighters as they went about their duty to protect the people of London." This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for the London County Council (LCC) and now part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical record of the early days of the London Fire Brigade and its equipment. The Magirus 85 foot turntable ladder, with its impressive height and maneuverability, was a crucial addition to the Brigade's arsenal, enabling firefighters to reach great heights and save lives in the event of fires in tall buildings or other structures. The crew, dressed in their uniforms, embody the spirit of service and dedication that has long been a hallmark of the London Fire Brigade. The image, taken in the drill yard of Southwark headquarters, serves as a reminder of the importance of training and preparation in the vital work of firefighting.
