LFDCA-LFB Demountable pods and bulk foam unit
Lorries capable of carrying demountable pods were introduced into the London Fire Brigade to transport different classifications of pods to incidents as required. Typical pods were bulk foam (as shown), damage control (salvage) pods and hose laying pods. They were crewed by a driver only and both the bulk foam and damage control pods would be delivered, demounted and collected later whilst the unit returned to the base station and reloaded with a different pod

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the innovative LFDCA-LFB Demountable pods and bulk foam unit introduced by the London Fire Brigade in the 1990s. These specialized lorries were designed to transport various classifications of demountable pods to incidents as required, revolutionizing their firefighting capabilities. The featured pod in this image is the bulk foam pod, which played a crucial role in extinguishing fires efficiently. The bright red lorry stands out against its surroundings, proudly displaying the iconic emblem of the London Fire Brigade. Its yellow accents add a touch of vibrancy to this powerful piece of firefighting machinery. With its sturdy build and purposeful design, it exudes reliability and readiness for action. These demountable pods allowed firefighters to swiftly respond to different types of emergencies by carrying specific equipment tailored for each situation. Alongside bulk foam pods like this one, damage control (salvage) pods and hose laying pods were also utilized. Manned solely by a skilled driver, these versatile units would deliver their designated pod at an incident site before returning to base station for reloading with another type of pod. This efficient system ensured that firefighters had access to precisely what they needed when tackling diverse emergency scenarios across London. Thanks to Mary Evans Prints Online's remarkable collection, we are able to glimpse into the past and appreciate how advancements in technology have enhanced our ability to combat fires effectively while safeguarding lives and property within our communities.
