LCC-LFB Dual purpose appliances (pump escape)

Introduced into the London Fire Brigade in 1934, dual purpose appliances meant that the ladders the fire engines carried were interchangeable. The fire engine shown is a pump escape; however it could also carry a 30 foot extension ladder and be deemed a pump. The fire engine pictured is from No 1 station, Southwark, the headquarters fire station located at Southwark Bridge Road SE1
