EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from the Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a horse-drawn steamer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigades (MFB) at their Southwark headquarters in London during the late 1890s. The horse-drawn steamer was the backbone of the MFB's fire engine fleet, as it was the only appliance capable of pumping and delivering water to extinguish fires. The steamer crew was responsible for organizing water supplies and actively engaging in firefighting efforts. The image features the horse-drawn steamer prominently, with its large water tank and powerful pumping equipment. The steamer is accompanied by an escape cart, which served a crucial role in performing rescues and carrying the 50-foot ladder. The crew members, dressed in their distinctive firefighting uniforms, are seen attending to the appliances, ensuring they are ready for action. The photograph, taken in a sepia tone, transports us back to the Victorian era and offers a glimpse into the history of firefighting in London. The horse-drawn steamers were the primary means of firefighting before the advent of motorized engines, and this image serves as a testament to their importance and the bravery of the firefighters who operated them.
