EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from the Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a significant innovation in firefighting technology from the late 1890s - the London Fire Brigade's newly developed horse-drawn wheeled escape cart. The cart, operated by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), was designed to streamline the rescue process during fires. Traditionally, fire escape ladders were carried by firefighters and had to be manually placed against buildings before being used to rescue individuals from upper floors. However, this new cart allowed the escape ladder to be more easily and quickly slipped onto the vehicle, significantly reducing the time it took to initiate a rescue. The cart, drawn by a team of powerful horses, was an essential addition to the fire brigade's arsenal during the Victorian era. The firefighters, dressed in their iconic uniforms, can be seen here preparing the cart for action. The horses, with their heads held high and tails held aloft, appear focused and determined as they await their command. The wheeled escape cart revolutionized the way firefighters were able to rescue people from burning buildings, allowing them to save lives more efficiently and effectively. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of the London Fire Brigade during a time when fire safety regulations were not as stringent as they are today. The image captures a moment in history, providing a glimpse into the past and the evolution of firefighting technology.
