EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, a propane gas cylinder lies submerged in an emergency dam at Liddell Gardens in Kilburn, North West London. The image, taken in the 1980s, captures the aftermath of a fire and explosion that had engulfed the cylinder just moments before. The London Fire Brigade, with their unwavering commitment to public safety, had swiftly responded to the incident. Upon arrival, they discovered that the explosion had severely damaged the propane cylinder, leaving it in a dangerous state. To prevent any further hazards, the decision was made to transport the cylinder to this emergency dam, where it could be cooled down gradually in the water. The London Fire Brigade's team worked diligently to secure the cylinder and carefully maneuver it into the dam. The cool water would help to reduce the risk of any remaining gas igniting, ensuring the safety of the responders and the surrounding community. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of emergency response services and their role in safeguarding public safety. It also highlights the potential dangers associated with the handling and storage of propane gas cylinders, emphasizing the need for proper safety protocols and precautions. The image, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and professionalism of the London Fire Brigade during a critical moment in their history. The photograph is a testament to their unwavering dedication to protecting the people of London and ensuring their safety in times of crisis.
