EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, taken in the 1920s, we see a Metz-Leyland 85 foot turntable ladder being put through its paces during a drill at the Headquarters station in Southwark, SE1. The firefighters of the London Fire Brigade were renowned for their skill and expertise in operating complex and heavy equipment, and this image showcases their dedication to training and preparation. The turntable ladder, a vital piece of firefighting equipment, is seen here in all its glory. The ladder's impressive 85-foot height is a testament to the fire service's commitment to reaching great heights to save lives and extinguish fires. The turntable mechanism at the base of the ladder allows it to rotate 360 degrees, enabling firefighters to access the most difficult-to-reach areas. The Metz-Leyland ladder is a classic example of the collaboration between two prominent firefighting equipment manufacturers. The Metz company was known for its innovative designs and high-quality construction, while Leyland Motors provided the chassis and engine for the vehicle. The result is a powerful and versatile appliance that served the London Fire Brigade well for many years. The firefighters in the photograph are seen climbing the ladder, their faces focused and determined. The drill appears to be taking place in a bustling urban environment, with other fire appliances and vehicles visible in the background. The scene is one of industry and purpose, as the London Fire Brigade prepared for any emergency that might come their way. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the world of firefighting in the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of the crucial role that the London Fire Brigade plays in protecting the city and its people, and the importance of training and preparation in carrying out that role effectively.
