EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a mechanical bulk foam tender (D27) of the Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) at Heston fire station in the 1960s. Established on 1 April 1965, the GLC-LFB was formed by the merger of various fire services in and around London. To document this significant event, a series of photographs was commissioned, capturing each type of fire engine within the enlarged brigade. In this image, we see a close-up view of the foam tender, which was an essential appliance in the firefighting fleet. The vehicle's mechanical design allowed it to carry and dispense large quantities of foam, a crucial resource for extinguishing fires involving flammable liquids. The tender is stationed at Heston fire station, with its distinctive red bodywork and white lettering proudly displaying the fire station's number, D27. Surrounding the tender are other fire service vehicles, including a turntable ladder and an engine, further emphasizing the importance of a well-equipped and diverse fleet. The fire station's garage doors are open, suggesting that the crew is preparing for an emergency call-out. The scene exudes a sense of readiness and professionalism, as the brave firefighters of the GLC-LFB stood ready to protect their community from any fire-related threats. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the London Fire Brigade during the 1960s, offering a unique perspective on the vehicles and equipment that were instrumental in keeping the city safe.
