EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Berthaud in 1872, showcases a steam-operated fire pump, a vital piece of equipment in the Paris Fire Brigade during the 1870s. The pump was built by the renowned French manufacturer A. Thirion. The image captures the raw power and complexity of this historical appliance, which was a significant advancement in firefighting technology during that era. The steam-operated pump is depicted with its large wheels, ready for transport to the scene of a fire. The intricate engine, with its various valves and pipes, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The hose and hosepipe, coiled neatly beside the pump, are a reminder of the essential role this equipment played in delivering water to extinguish fires. Firefighting was a noble and dangerous profession, and the firemen, dressed in their protective gear, are poised and focused, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. The London Fire Brigade, as well as other fire departments around the world, would adopt similar steam-powered pumps in their own services, revolutionizing the way fires were fought and controlled. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the history of firefighting and the advancements made during the 1870s. The steam-operated pump, with its impressive size and power, remains an iconic symbol of the bravery and determination of the firefighters who operated it.
