The image showcases an important piece of public service history, capturing the essence of bygone decades and the evolution of firefighting vehicles. In this remarkable archive photograph, we witness a magnificent horse-drawn fire engine proudly standing at the forefront. This iconic vehicle served as Bexhill's very first fire engine, symbolizing the town's commitment to safety and protection since its inception in 1895. Its significance is further highlighted by the date inscribed below - October 18th, 1949 - marking a pivotal moment when it was still actively serving its purpose. The attention to detail is striking; from the meticulously crafted equipment engines early on to the impeccable uniforms worn by our brave firemen who risked their lives daily for their community's well-being.
