EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, taken on August 17, 1938, four brave firefighters of the London County Council Fire Brigade (LCC-LFB) are seen proudly posing with a 60-year old hose cart that was once a vital part of their firefighting and rescue operations. The image captures the camaraderie and teamwork among these firefighters, as they gather around the iconic piece of fire service history. The hose cart, which was housed in the LCC-LFB Headquarters in Cherry Garden Street, London, still had its uses despite its age. It carried essential equipment for firefighting and rescue work, including 300 feet of hose, axes, hand extinguishers, and two hook ladders. The wheels of the cart, though worn out, were still functional, allowing the team to transport the equipment to the scene of the emergency quickly and efficiently. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the 1930s firefighting techniques and the equipment used by the LCC-LFB during that era. The firefighters, dressed in their uniforms and wearing their helmets, exude a sense of determination and readiness, reflecting the dedication and professionalism of the fire service during that time. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the London Fire Brigade and the important role that history plays in shaping the present and future of the fire service. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and commitment of the firefighters who have come before us, and the vital role they continue to play in keeping our communities safe.
