EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A London Fire Brigade Wheeled Ladder Escape Vehicle in Penge, South London, 1920s 2.. In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a London Fire Brigade wheeled ladder escape vehicle stands ready for action outside the fire station in Penge, a suburban area located to the south of London. Established in the late 19th century, the Penge Fire Brigade was one of many independent fire services operating within the London County Council boundary at the time. With only one fire station serving its geographical area, this fire brigade relied on a fleet of versatile appliances to respond effectively to various emergencies. The vehicle depicted in this image is a motorised petrol pump-escape, fitted with a self-contained fire pump and hose-reel. This appliance was designed to provide both firefighting capabilities and an escape ladder for people trapped in buildings during a fire. The wheeled design enabled the vehicle to be easily maneuvered to the scene of an incident, making it an essential piece of equipment for the Penge Fire Brigade in the urban district council era. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of significant social, cultural, and technological change. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of firefighting during this period, showcasing the innovative transport and equipment that kept communities safe in the face of fire emergencies. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to providing essential services, such as this wheeled ladder escape vehicle, continues to be a testament to their unwavering dedication to public safety.
