EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1960s, showcases the GLC-LFB (Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade) foam tender K23 from Battersea Fire Station. The GLC-LFB was formed on 1 April 1965, and this mechanical bulk foam tender is one of the many types of fire engines that were commissioned during the enlargement of the London Fire Brigade. The image captures the essence of the fire station, with the foam tender parked prominently in the foreground. The crew members, dressed in their uniforms, are seen demonstrating the mechanical foam branches carried by the tender. The foam branches were an essential piece of equipment for the tender, enabling the firefighters to extinguish fires more effectively, particularly those involving flammable liquids. The hoses and other firefighting equipment are also visible in the background, adding to the sense of readiness and preparedness of the fire station. The men in the photograph embody the courage and dedication of the fire service, as they go about their duties to protect the people of London from the dangers of fire. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the role of the fire service during the 1960s. It is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the firefighters, who continue to serve their communities with bravery and professionalism to this day.
