Championship Kodak Real Winners
EDITORS COMMENTS
This real photo postcard, dated 1914, captures the triumphant moment of the Kodak Fire Brigade as they were declared champions of the National Fire Brigade Championship. The image shows a group of firefighters, dressed in their protective gear and holding their helmets, proudly standing in front of a large banner that reads "Kodak Fire Brigade, Winners, National Fire Brigade Championship, 1914." The team's emblem, a stylized fire hydrant with the letters KFB, is prominently displayed on their uniforms and equipment. The National Fire Brigade Championship was an annual competition held in the United Kingdom to test the skills and abilities of fire brigades from across the country. The event included various challenges, such as hose laying, ladder climbing, and firefighting drills. The Kodak Fire Brigade, based in Rochester, Kent, emerged as the victors of the 1914 edition, demonstrating their exceptional teamwork, bravery, and technical proficiency. The photograph provides a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the camaraderie and spirit of competition among fire brigades during this era. It also highlights the important role that fire brigades played in protecting communities from the devastating effects of fire. The use of the term "Kodak" in the team's name is likely a nod to the company's reputation for producing high-quality photographic equipment, rather than any affiliation with the Kodak Fire Brigade being an official team of the company. This postcard is an invaluable historical record of a proud moment in the history of the fire service.
