The innovative design of these appliances allowed the ladders carried by the fire engines to be interchangeable, making them both pump and escape vehicles. The engine depicted in the image is from No. 1 Station, Southwark, which served as the headquarters fire station located at Southwark Bridge Road SE1. The vehicle is a remarkable example of the fire brigade's transport and equipment during the 1930s. The crew would use this wheeled engine to fight fires with its powerful pump, while also having the capability to carry a 30-foot extension ladder for rescue operations. The versatility of these appliances significantly enhanced the brigade's ability to respond effectively to various emergency situations. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and its commitment to serving the community during the 1930s.
