GLC-LFB Forced entry and lighting unit at Clapham

The mid 1970s saw a number of innovative appliance designs come into play as the London Fire Brigade adapted to an ever changing and more Health and Safety conscious working environment. This transit-based fire engine supplemented incident ground lighting and provided a range of tools (breaking in equipment) to force firefighters entry into secure premises. The equipment was later introduced on other fire engines as a norm and the forced entry and lighting unit was discontinued. Here it is shown at its base station, Clapham fire station, SW4

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the GLC-LFB (Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade) Forced Entry and Lighting Unit at its base station in Clapham, SW4, during the mid 1970s. The 1970s marked a period of innovation for the London Fire Brigade as they adapted to a more Health and Safety conscious working environment. This transit-based fire engine was one such groundbreaking appliance, designed to supplement incident ground lighting and provide a range of tools for firefighters to force entry into secure premises. The equipment, which included breaking and entry tools, was later introduced on other fire engines as a norm and the Forced Entry and Lighting Unit was eventually discontinued. In this image, the vehicle is shown parked at Clapham fire station, with its powerful lights illuminating the station's surroundings. The era of the 1970s was characterized by a growing focus on safety and the introduction of new, innovative designs in firefighting equipment. This transit engine was a testament to the London Fire Brigade's commitment to staying ahead of the curve and ensuring they had the best tools for the job. The photograph, taken by the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the history of firefighting transport and appliances in London during the 1970s.
