EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the London Fire Brigade team who were the proud winners of the Motor Escape Competition in 1927, 1928, and 1930, and runners-up in 1929. The six firemen, dressed in their iconic uniforms complete with shiny brass helmets and leather fireman's helmets, stand proudly with their trophy in Manchester Square. The year is 1930, and the cobblestone yard behind them is dotted with fire engines, including the one that brought them success in the competition. The Motor Escape Competition was a challenging and important event for the London Fire Brigade during the 1920s and 1930s. It tested the team's ability to escape from a burning vehicle as quickly and efficiently as possible. The competition was a crucial part of the firefighters' training, as motor vehicle accidents were becoming increasingly common in the bustling streets of London during this era. The team members in this photograph exude a sense of camaraderie and determination. Their focused expressions and strong postures convey their dedication to their work and their readiness to face any challenge that comes their way. The gleaming fire engine in the background serves as a reminder of their powerful and essential role in the community. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the London Fire Brigade during the 1930s. It captures the spirit of the firefighters and their commitment to saving lives, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical images.
