EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the Northern Command Control Unit of the Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) during the late 1960s. Established on 1 April 1965, the GLC-LFB was formed by the merger of various fire services in and around London. In order to manage the enlarged Brigade, it was divided into three command areas: Northern, Eastern, and Southern, each with a Command Headquarters. Seen here is the interior of the Northern Command control unit, which was stationed at the Command Headquarters. The room is filled with a myriad of equipment essential for managing the firefighting operations in the Northern Command area. The control unit is home to various communication systems, maps, and other tools necessary for coordinating the deployment of fire engines, lorries, and appliances. The GLC-LFB's fleet of vehicles included a diverse range of fire engines, lorries, and appliances, which were strategically located across the command areas to ensure rapid response times. This control unit played a crucial role in managing the breakdown and transport of these vehicles, ensuring they were always ready for action. The 1960s was an era of significant change for the London Fire Brigade, and this photograph provides a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the Northern Command Control Unit during this period. With its state-of-the-art technology and dedicated team of fire service personnel, the unit was at the heart of the Brigade's operations, ensuring that the people of London were protected from the threats of fire and other emergencies.
