EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a horse-drawn fire engine and its crew, proudly stationed outside South Croydon Fire Station in London during the early 1900s. The London County Council Fire Brigade (LCC-LFB) team, dressed in their iconic Edwardian firefighting uniforms, pose confidently next to their powerful steeds. The horses, adorned with blinkers and harnesses, appear alert and ready for action. The firemen, each wearing helmets with badges and holding long hose reels, exude a sense of professionalism and determination. The fire engine, a testament to the technological advancements of the time, is equipped with a pump and hoses, all carefully arranged on the vehicle. The street outside is illuminated by a single gas street lamp, casting an orange glow over the scene. The horse-drawn fire engine was a common sight on the streets of London during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of the London Fire Brigade's history. This photograph is a reminder of the crucial role that horses played in firefighting before the advent of motorized vehicles. The combination of man, horse, and equipment represents a unique moment in firefighting history, and this image is a must-have for anyone interested in London's firefighting heritage or the history of emergency services.
