EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the horse-drawn steamer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) at Southwark fire station during the late Victorian era. The steamer, an essential piece of firefighting equipment during this time, is being prepared for action with a team of dedicated firefighters and their horses. The intricate machinery of the steamer, which generated steam to power the fire hoses, is a testament to the advanced technology of the era. The fire station yard is bustling with activity, with several other horse-drawn appliances and engines in the background, each with their own crew and horses. The London Fire Brigade, which was known as the Metropolitan Fire Brigade until 1904, relied heavily on horse-drawn vehicles for their firefighting operations before the advent of motorized fire engines. The crew members, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen checking the hoses, saddling the horses, and ensuring that all equipment is in order. The horses, strong and powerful, are an integral part of the firefighting team, providing the necessary pull to transport the heavy appliances to the scene of the fire. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the courage and determination of the firefighters and their horses as they bravely faced the challenges of firefighting in the late 19th century.
