EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the GLC-LFB Canteen Van, a vital component of the enlarged London Fire Brigade (LFB) that was established on 1 April 1965. The GLC-LFB Canteen Van, based at Lambeth Fire Station (B22), was one of several appliances commissioned for the new brigade, with each type of fire engine being documented through a series of photographs. The canteen van was an essential service vehicle, designed to attend large fires and provide on-the-spot refreshments for the hardworking firefighters. Equipped with a functional kitchen and canteen, the van was a mobile catering unit that offered much-needed sustenance and respite to the firefighters during long and arduous incidents. The van's exterior is adorned with the iconic London Fire Brigade insignia, proudly displaying the organization's commitment to protecting the city and its people. The van's side hatch is open, revealing the interior, which is filled with tables, chairs, and a well-stocked kitchen.
