EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1916 showcases the remarkable Swindon Works Fire Brigade, a group of smartly uniformed firemen who were always prepared to tackle emergencies at the sprawling industrial site. The focal point of this image is the impressive Dennis Fire Engine, which was acquired by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1912.

This combination of modern and traditional equipment demonstrates the brigade's commitment to staying ahead of potential disasters. The dedication and professionalism exuded by these brave firefighters are evident in their crisp uniforms and helmets, symbolizing their readiness to face any challenge that may arise within Swindon Works. As employees of one of Britain's largest railway engineering complexes, they understood the importance of swift action during emergencies. This photograph offers a glimpse into history, capturing not only a moment frozen in time but also highlighting the significance placed on safety within such an industrial setting.
