EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1976, captures a Morris style 50-foot wheeled escape ladder parked in the Lambeth Fire Brigade workshops. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, is the primary firefighting service for the Greater London area. In the 1970s, wheeled escape ladders like this one became a common addition to their equipment arsenal, providing a versatile solution for reaching heights inaccessible to fire engines. When not carried directly on fire engines, escape ladders were typically stored in this manner. The Morris style ladder, with its distinctive red rungs and black wheels, is a classic design that has been in use by various fire services around the world since the early 20th century. Its wheeled design made it easier to maneuver and transport between stations and incidents. This particular ladder, part of the Lambeth Fire Brigade's inventory, is shown here in its resting place within the workshops. The image offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of fire brigade operations during the 1970s, a time when fire services were adapting to new technologies and equipment to better serve their communities. The photograph is a testament to the importance of fire safety and the role that specialized equipment, like the Morris style 50-foot wheeled escape ladder, plays in ensuring the safety of Londoners. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on the history of firefighting in the capital city.
