EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the readiness and tradition of the London Fire Brigade's MFB Escape Cart standing proudly in its station. Dating back to the late 19th century, this firefighting appliance was a vital component of the Brigade's horse-drawn fire engines. The Escape Cart, with its 50-foot wheeled escape ladder, is shown here in pristine condition, waiting to be connected to the horses stabled on either side of the fire engine. The hand hose cart, also pulled by firefighters, is positioned nearby, adding to the scene's authenticity. The London Fire Brigade's extensive history dates back to 1865, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the service's early days. The firefighters of this era relied on horses and traditional equipment to respond to emergencies. The Escape Cart was an essential piece of equipment, allowing firefighters to reach great heights and rescue people from burning buildings. The shed and stables in the background further emphasize the importance of the horses in firefighting operations during this period. The turntable ladder, another iconic piece of firefighting equipment, can be seen in the distance, adding to the overall scene's charm and historical significance. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, is a testament to the dedication and bravery of the London Fire Brigade's firefighters during the Victorian era. Today, this piece of history is preserved in the London Fire Brigade Museum, reminding us of the rich heritage and evolution of firefighting in the city.
