EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Mechanical Bulk Foam Tender from the Greater London Council (GLC) Fire Brigade, stationed at K23 Battersea Fire Station, in the heart of London during the 1960s. The GLC-LFB was established on 1 April 1965, and a series of photographs were commissioned to document each type of fire engine that was either part of the enlarged London Fire Brigade or absorbed into it. In this image, we see the fire engine, identified as a foam tender, parked at the fire station. The foam tender was an essential piece of equipment in the firefighting arsenal, used to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids. The mechanical bulk foam tender, specifically, was capable of carrying large quantities of foam and could generate it on site, making it a valuable asset in dealing with major fires. The vehicle, with its distinctive red body and white lettering, is a testament to the advanced technology and equipment available to the London Fire Brigade during the 1960s. The service pump, located at the back of the engine, is visible, indicating that this appliance was not only used for foam application but also for traditional firefighting duties. The fire engine's presence at the fire station underscores the importance of having the right equipment and vehicles on hand to ensure the safety and protection of London's residents. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of the London Fire Brigade and the vital role that its appliances and personnel played in the community.
