EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Southgate District Council fire service (SDFB) crew, proudly standing next to their fire engine, which dates back to 1914. The fire engine, manufactured by Lloyd and Plaister of Wood Green in 1912, was a vital part of the firefighting efforts in North London during the tumultuous years of World War I (1914-1918). The motor escape, one of the earliest fire engines in the Southgate District Council's fleet, was in service until 1924. The fire engine, adorned with the Southgate District Council insignia, is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the firefighters during this period. The men, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, don tin helmets and are ready for action. The engine, with its ladder extended, is a formidable sight, ready to tackle any blaze that comes its way. The fire engine, which was kept in service until 1940, was eventually broken up for scrap. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a snapshot of the history of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) during the wartime years. The fire engine, with its military-like appearance, also reflects the close relationship between the fire service and the army during this period. The Southgate District Council fire service played a crucial role in protecting the community during the challenging years of World War I. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the firefighters and the vital role they played in keeping the people of North London safe.
