EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Brigade in action during the 1920s, showcasing both petrol-driven fire escapes and a steam-driven motor fire engine. The image, taken by renowned photographer Terry Parker, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of firefighting techniques during this era. In the foreground, a team of brave firemen are seen operating a petrol-driven fire escape. The fire escape, a crucial piece of equipment for evacuating people from burning buildings, is being maneuvered towards a tall, smoke-filled structure. The firemen, dressed in their iconic uniforms and helmets, are focused and determined as they prepare to save lives. Meanwhile, in the background, a steam-driven motor fire engine is making its way through the busy London streets. The engine, with its distinctive hissing sound and billowing steam, is a testament to the technology of the time. Firefighters are seen working around the engine, preparing hoses and other equipment to tackle the blaze. The photograph, dated 1923, is a reminder of the important role the London Fire Brigade played in protecting the city and its residents during the 1920s. It also highlights the evolution of firefighting equipment, with the introduction of petrol-driven fire escapes and the continued use of steam-driven motor fire engines. The image is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era and a tribute to the heroism and dedication of the firefighters of the time.
