LCC-LFB Vauxhall fire station, Lambeth SE1
Vauxhall fire station was built by the London County Council in the last year of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, before the name was changed to the London Fire Brigade. The station was located on the Albert Embankment. It was considered by some to be an unlucky fire station. Shortly after opening, a fireman, his wife and child were gassed to death in their flat above the station. In 1918 four firemen from Vauxhall were killed at a fire on the Albert Embankment which took seven firemens lives. The station was closed in 1937 with the opening of the new Fire Brigade headquarters, also built on the Albert Embankment. The station was demolished in the early 1970s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-LFB Vauxhall Fire Station, located on the Albert Embankment in Lambeth, London, in the early 1900s. Built by the London County Council in the final year of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, before its name was changed to the London Fire Brigade, the station opened in an era of Edwardian grandeur. However, the station was considered unlucky by some, with a series of tragic events befalling its members. In 1910, a fireman and his wife and child were gassed to death in their flat above the station. Just two years later, in 1912, four firemen from Vauxhall were among the seven lives lost at a fire on the Albert Embankment. Despite its unfortunate history, the station remained in operation until 1937, when it was closed with the opening of the new London Fire Brigade headquarters, also on the Albert Embankment. The original Vauxhall Fire Station was demolished in the early 1970s. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the proud and dedicated firefighters of the London Fire Brigade, who answered the call to protect their community, despite the station's ominous reputation.
