EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a damaged London Fire Brigade (LFB) fire appliance, specifically a dual purpose pump, is being delivered to the Regional headquarters workshops at Lambeth during World War II. The vehicle, adorned with the distinctive LFB insignia, has been towed in by the brigade's breakdown lorry, a testament to the wear and tear of wartime service. During the early years of the war, the former red fire engines of the London Fire Brigade were painted grey to blend in with the city's drab wartime landscape and to reduce their visibility to potential enemy targets. This damaged appliance, with its broken lights and dented bodywork, bears the scars of a collision or other incident. The delivery of the damaged appliance to the workshops at Lambeth marks the beginning of its repair and restoration. The 1940s were a challenging time for the London Fire Brigade, with the demands of wartime firefighting and the constant threat of air raids. Despite these challenges, the brigade continued to provide essential services to the people of London, relying on their resilience and determination to keep the city safe. This photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime experiences of the London Fire Brigade and the vital role that their vehicles played in maintaining the safety and security of the city during a time of great adversity. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the firefighters who served during this period and the importance of their work in protecting the communities they served. This photograph is from the Mary Evans Picture Library and is not to be used for commercial purposes. It is a powerful reminder of the history and heritage of the London Fire Brigade and the critical role that firefighting vehicles played during the wartime years.
