EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Dennis diesel fire engine, model GLC-LFB, which was absorbed into the enlarged London Fire Brigade on 1 April 1965. The engine, stationed at Brixton Fire Station (B30), is a dual-purpose pump fire appliance, signified by the large water pump at the rear. The image captures the essence of the 1960s with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The GLC-LFB series was commissioned for the London Fire Brigade following its expansion, and each type of fire engine was documented through a series of photographs. This particular appliance, with its powerful diesel engine, was an essential asset in the Brigade's fleet, capable of both firefighting and rescue operations. The Dennis fire engine, with its robust design and versatile functionality, was a common sight on the streets of London during the 1960s. The vehicle's ability to carry large amounts of water and deliver it to the scene of a fire through its powerful pump made it an indispensable tool for the London Fire Brigade. The image of the Brixton Fire Station's GLC-LFB appliance is a testament to the rich history of firefighting in London. The engine's red body, adorned with the London Fire Brigade insignia, stands proudly against a backdrop of the bustling city, highlighting the critical role that firefighters play in keeping communities safe. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of firefighting vehicles and the London Fire Brigade.
