EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Motorised Pump Escape of No. 1 Fire Station, also known as Southwark Headquarters (HQ), located at Southwark Bridge Road, SE1. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) adopted motorised fire engines in the 1920s, leading to a reduction in the number of stations. A report published in 1920 recommended the closure of 15 fire stations, but Southwark was not among them. In this image, we witness a motorised fire engine, likely a Type E escape ladder appliance, exiting the station yard. Motorisation of fire engines brought about significant changes in firefighting capabilities and logistics, allowing for faster response times and increased mobility. The adoption of motorised engines also led to the retirement of traditional horse-drawn fire engines. The motorised pump escape, equipped with ladders, was an essential piece of equipment for the LFB during this era. These appliances were used to access fires in high-rise buildings and other hard-to-reach areas. The ladders could be lowered from the rear of the vehicle, providing a quick and efficient means of gaining access to upper floors. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the London Fire Brigade's history and the evolution of firefighting technology during this period. The motorised pump escape, with its sleek design and powerful capabilities, stands as a testament to the advancements made in firefighting during this time. The London Fire Brigade Museum, which is located at the Old Fire Station on Southwark Bridge Road, houses a vast collection of historical firefighting equipment, including motorised appliances like this one. A visit to the museum is a must for anyone interested in the rich history of firefighting in London.
