EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the iconic Ford Cortina staff car of the Greater London Council (GLC) Fire Brigade, stationed at Lambeth Headquarters in the 1960s. Established on April 1, 1965, the GLC-LFB underwent a significant expansion, absorbing various fire services across London. The Ford Cortina, with its distinctive livery and removable flashing beacon on the roof, was a common sight on the streets of London during this period. The Cortina staff car played a crucial role in the service, transporting senior officers to emergency incidents and carrying out their official duties. Its versatility and reliability made it an essential addition to the enlarged London Fire Brigade fleet. This photograph is one of a series commissioned by the London Fire Brigade to document each type of fire engine and other vehicles that were either within or absorbed into the brigade during this time. The 1960s Ford Cortina staff car, with its sleek design and practical features, is a testament to the innovation and adaptability of emergency services vehicles during this era. As the London Fire Brigade continued to grow and evolve, the Ford Cortina staff car remained an integral part of the service's response capabilities. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the London Fire Brigade and the vehicles that have helped shape its legacy.
