EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a piece of early firefighting history from the London Fire Brigade Museum, showcasing an MBW-MFB rolled leather fire hose with screw couplings and copper rivets. Dating back to the Victorian era, around 1800s, this hose was once an essential component of the fire service's arsenal. Fashioned from durable leather, this hose was designed to withstand the rigors of firefighting, providing a vital water supply to extinguish flames and save lives. The introduction of copper rivets in the early 1800s marked a significant improvement in the hose's durability and reliability, ensuring it could withstand the high pressures required for effective firefighting. Screw couplings were another essential feature of this hose, allowing for quick and easy connection and disconnection during firefighting operations. This type of hose was in service until the late 1800s, when it was eventually phased out in favor of more modern materials and designs. The nostalgic charm of this MBW-MFB rolled leather fire hose with copper rivets and screw couplings is a poignant reminder of the rich history and heritage of the London Fire Brigade. This artefact, now preserved in the museum, invites us to reflect on the courage and determination of the firefighters who used this equipment to protect their communities from the destructive power of fire. The London Fire Brigade Museum is a treasure trove of historical firefighting equipment, offering a fascinating insight into the evolution of firefighting techniques and technology over the centuries. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a captivating glimpse into the past and the early days of firefighting in London.
