LCC-LFB A motorised Dennis pump escape
The adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB led to a reduction in the number of stations required. A report produced in the 1920s recommended the closure of some 15 fire stations. The pump escape, seen here at the Southwark Headquarters, is fitted with pneumatic tyres which also provided for safer and faster travel times when responding to emergencies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a motorised Dennis pump escape of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) at their Southwark Headquarters during the 1920s. The adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB marked a significant shift in firefighting technology and logistics. With motorised engines came faster response times and reduced reliance on horses and manual pumps. This innovation led to a report recommending the closure of some 15 fire stations across London. The motorised pump escape, as seen in this image, is fitted with pneumatic tyres, providing not only for safer travel on various road surfaces but also for faster response times when racing against the clock to reach emergency scenes. The vehicle's design allowed for a more efficient use of resources, as fewer stations were needed to cover the same area. The crew, dressed in their brass helmets and uniforms, are seen preparing the vehicle for an emergency call. The escape ladder is raised and secured, and the engine is ready to go. The motorised pump escape was a vital addition to the LFB's fleet, revolutionising the way they responded to fires and other emergencies. The 1920s, also known as the 'Roaring Twenties,' was a time of great change and innovation. This photograph is a testament to the advancements made in firefighting technology during this period, which continues to impact the way emergency services operate today.
