EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1950s, showcases the iconic LCC-LFB Leyland Metz 100-foot turntable ladder (D61), affectionately known as "Lambeth's" turntable ladder, at its base station in the London Fire Brigade headquarters drill yard. The Metz turntable ladder, manufactured by Leyland Motors, was a vital piece of firefighting equipment in London's fire service during the 1950s. The ladder, with its distinctive red and yellow livery, is shown here with its extending ladders fully deployed, forming a makeshift water tower. A lengthy hose line lies over the side of the ladder, ready for use. The hosepipe, coiled and secured, is an essential component of the ladder's versatility, enabling it to function as a water tower when needed. The London Fire Brigade's fleet of Metz turntable ladders were renowned for their ability to reach great heights and access otherwise inaccessible areas. They were a crucial asset in the brigade's arsenal, providing firefighters with the necessary reach to tackle blazes in high-rise buildings and other structures. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Metz turntable ladder in its natural habitat – the fire station. It serves as a reminder of the vital role these vehicles played in London's firefighting history and the dedication of the brave men and women who operated them.
