EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an early petrol-driven motor tender of the London Fire Brigade (LFB), as depicted in the image from Mary Evans Picture Library. Dated back to 1903, this Edwardian-era appliance represents a significant milestone in the history of firefighting equipment. The LFB petrol-driven motor tender, fashioned by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), was an innovative addition to the brigade's fleet. Equipped with a chain transmission system, this first-aid tender was the first to carry a small water tank that operated under the pressure of carbon dioxide gas. This groundbreaking feature allowed firefighters to have an immediate supply of water upon arrival to extinguish most small fires, revolutionizing the way fires were fought in the early 20th century. The vehicle, adorned with its distinctive red color and emblem, is a testament to the ingenuity and progressiveness of the London Fire Brigade during this period. The appliance's design, with its sleek lines and robust construction, exudes an air of efficiency and reliability. The image captures the tender in its service days, with firefighters preparing for their next call, further emphasizing the vital role that such vehicles played in the daily operations of the brigade. This photograph is an invaluable piece of history that offers a glimpse into the early days of firefighting vehicles and the evolution of the London Fire Brigade's equipment. The petrol-driven motor tender, with its small water tank pressurized by carbon dioxide gas, marked a turning point in the brigade's ability to effectively combat small fires and provide aid to those in need.
