EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the London Fire Brigade's archives, taken in 1914, we see a Dennis motorised Hatfield fire engine and its dedicated crew in action. The Dennis Motor Company, based in Guildford, Surrey, was a leading manufacturer of fire appliances during the early 20th century. This particular appliance, a Hatfield type, was an innovative design that combined the benefits of a motorised chassis with the essential features of a fire engine. The crew, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and helmets, are intently focused on their tasks. One fireman is operating the powerful pump, while another is preparing a hose. The engine's pumps, with their distinctive red levers, are ready to be engaged, and the motor's roaring engine is poised to take the firefighters to their next call. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, was the first municipal fire brigade in the world. By the early 1900s, motorised appliances had become an essential part of their arsenal, allowing them to respond more quickly and effectively to fires. The Dennis motorised Hatfield fire engine was a vital addition to their fleet, and its acquisition marked a significant step forward in the Brigade's ability to protect the city from the devastating effects of fire. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters of the London Fire Brigade, who risked their lives to keep the city safe. It also highlights the important role that technology and innovation played in the development of firefighting equipment and techniques during this period. Today, the London Fire Brigade continues to serve the city with the latest technology and equipment, ensuring that they are always prepared to face any fire-related emergency.
