Framed Photos from Mary Evans Picture Library
GLC-LFB - Dual purpose water-tender fire engine
The GLC-LFB was created on 1 April 1965. A series of photos was commissioned of each type of fire engine, either within or absorbed into the enlarged London Fire Brigade. The Dennis fire engine seen here came into London from the Surrey Fire Brigade, Surreys fire engines did not carry the 50 foot wheeled escape ladder, but a 45 foot extension ladder (as shown). These fire engines were converted to carry wheeled escapes until the escape ladders were decommissioned in the mid-1980s. 13.5 metre (45 foot) extension ladders were reintroduced across the Brigade

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Dual-Purpose Water-Tender Fire Engine of the GLC-LFB: A Dennis Fire Appliance from Surrey (1965) 2.. This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of the Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) as it showcases a Dennis fire engine, which joined the enlarged London Fire Brigade on 1st April 1965. Originally hailing from the Surrey Fire Brigade, this appliance was one of many that were absorbed into the expanding London Fire Brigade. 3. Background: In the late 1960s, the London Fire Brigade underwent a major expansion, absorbing various smaller fire services from surrounding counties. This Dennis fire engine, with its distinctive red livery, was among the vehicles that made the transition. 4. Features: Surrey Fire Brigade's fire engines did not carry the 50-foot wheeled escape ladders, but instead, a 45-foot extension ladder, as depicted in the image.

Reintroduction: The 13.5-metre (45-foot) extension ladders were reintroduced across the Brigade, ensuring that firefighters had the necessary equipment to tackle high-rise buildings and other emergencies that required extended reach. 6. Legacy: This Dennis fire engine serves as a reminder of the evolution of the London Fire Brigade, showcasing the adaptability and resilience of its vehicles and personnel in the face of changing circumstances. 7. Technical Details: Date: 1st April 1965. Type: Dennis fire engine. Function: Dual-purpose water-tender fire appliance. Origin: Surrey Fire Brigade. Equipment: 45-foot extension ladder.
