EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, two firefighters proudly display the latest firefighting equipment in a poignant moment marking the changeover from brass to cork helmets. The firemen, hailing from Stations 34 in Shadwell and 4 in Chelsea, are seen wearing the new Proto Mark IV breathing apparatus sets, complete with cork helmets. These innovative new helmets were gradually being phased in, replacing the traditional brass helmets that had long been a symbol of the London Fire Brigade. The background of the image is filled with London firefighters, still clad in their old-fashioned brass helmets. The contrast between the new and old styles creates a striking visual representation of the evolution of firefighting equipment. The Proto Mark IV sets, with their hoses, oxygen tanks, and service apparatus, were a significant improvement in firefighting technology. This photograph, taken in the late 1930s, captures the essence of the transition from the 1930s to the modern era of firefighting. The image is a testament to the London Fire Brigade's commitment to updating its equipment and ensuring its firefighters were equipped with the best tools to protect the city. The two firemen, with their determined expressions and new gear, embody the spirit of progress and dedication that has long defined the London Fire Brigade.
