EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, a team of brave firefighters from Wandsworth Fire Station in South West London are seen rushing out to answer a call, their faces set with determination and focus. The appliance room of the fire station, filled with vehicles and equipment, is a hive of activity as the fire engines are prepared for deployment. The image captures the moment of descent as the firemen slide down the pole, ready to jump into action. The fire engines, with their distinctive red and yellow livery, stand at the ready, their ladders and hoses coiled neatly beside them. The scene is completed by the fire station sheds, where additional equipment is stored, and the fire hydrant pole, a familiar symbol of firefighting services. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1960s and the era of the London County Council Fire Brigade (LCC-LFB). The firefighters, dressed in their traditional uniforms, embody the courage and dedication of the fire service, as they respond to the call of duty. The photograph is a testament to the vital role that firefighters play in protecting their communities, and the importance of having well-equipped and well-trained emergency services at the ready. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the London Fire Brigade. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of fire safety and the heroic efforts of those who risk their lives to keep us safe.
