EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken at the London Fire Brigade Headquarters in Southwark, we see an exemplary representation of an early battery-electric pump escape van. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, was at the forefront of innovation in firefighting technology, and this vehicle, with its electric-driven motor, was a testament to their forward-thinking approach. The batteries, which powered the vehicle, were ingeniously stored under the bonnet, making the fire engine weigh approximately two tons. This electric-powered appliance, a significant departure from the traditional horse-drawn carriages and steam-powered engines, was a wheeled, motorized marvel of the Edwardian era. This particular vehicle, with its ladder mounted on the back, was designed primarily for escape purposes. The ladder would allow firefighters to reach heights that would otherwise be inaccessible during a fire, ensuring their safety and enabling them to rescue those in need. The London Fire Brigade Museum houses an extensive collection of firefighting vehicles, appliances, and equipment, and this battery-electric pump escape van is a cherished addition to it. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of firefighting technology and the London Fire Brigade's commitment to progress. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of innovation in emergency services and the vital role that technology plays in saving lives. The London Fire Brigade's embrace of electric-powered vehicles, such as this battery-electric pump escape van, paved the way for more advanced and efficient firefighting equipment, setting the standard for future generations.
