EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sepia photograph captures the turnout of fire crews and appliances from a London Fire Brigade (LFB) station in 1915. The image showcases a lineup of fire engines and other appliances, each manned by dedicated firefighters, ready to respond to emergencies. The forecourt of the fire station is filled with a sense of anticipation and purpose, as the crews prepare for the day ahead. The London Fire Brigade was founded in 1865 and has a rich history of protecting the city from fires and other emergencies. In the early 20th century, the brigade's fleet of fire engines and appliances were a vital part of the organization's ability to respond quickly and effectively to incidents. The engines, with their distinctive red color and intricate detailing, were a common sight on the streets of London. The fire crews in this photograph are dressed in their uniforms, which include leather helmets, coats, and trousers. They carry various tools and equipment, such as axes, hoses, and ladders, which would be essential for firefighting operations. The appliances in the background include a variety of engines, some of which are horse-drawn, as well as a ladder truck and a chemical tender. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the London Fire Brigade during a time when firefighting was a more manual and labor-intensive process. It is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to keep the city safe from the threat of fire.
