EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, taken on November 29, 1965, firemen demonstrate the capabilities of the Teled Noflam protective suit at the Brigade's headquarters in Lambeth. The Teled Noflam suit was a groundbreaking innovation in firefighting equipment, designed to provide firefighters with superior protection against intense heat and flames. The Teled Noflam suit, a portable and lightweight alternative to traditional firefighting uniforms, was a significant development in the field of firefighting safety. The suit, which featured a unique material that could withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius, was a game-changer for firefighters, allowing them to enter burning buildings more safely and effectively. During the demonstration, firefighters put the suit through rigorous heat tests, showcasing its impressive heat-resistant properties. The Teled Noflam suit was a crucial addition to the London Fire Brigade's arsenal, enhancing the safety and efficiency of firefighting operations. The photograph captures the intensity of the heat tests, with flames engulfing the suit as the firefighter inside remains unharmed.
