1. Title: "The Metropolitan Fire Brigade's Fire Float and Tug in Action on the River Thames, 1890s" This illustration depicts a heroic scene on the River Thames during the late 1800s, featuring a Metropolitan Fire Brigade fire float and tug making their way towards a blaze in the distance. The fire float, an ingenious appliance mounted on a barge, was a vital component of the London Fire Brigade's arsenal, designed to supply water to land via hoses or directly extinguish fires with jets mounted on the barge itself. The powerful tug, skillfully maneuvering the fire float, played a crucial role in transporting this essential firefighting vessel to the scene of the emergency. The steam-powered tug, with its robust design and determined crew, ensured the timely arrival of the fire float, enabling the brave firefighters to effectively combat the raging inferno. The illustration offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's firefighting methods, showcasing the innovative use of boats and vessels to protect London's riverside communities. The intricate details of the drawing, from the firefighters' uniforms to the intricately designed pumps and hoses, highlight the dedication and professionalism of the London Fire Brigade during this period. This illustration, preserved by the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique insight into the history of firefighting on the River Thames and the vital role that the fire float and tug played in protecting London from the destructive power of fire.
