EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Metz turntable ladder (L30) of the Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) at Plaistow fire station. The image was captured in the 1960s, following the creation of the GLC-LFB on 1 April 1965. Prior to this merger, parts of Essex Fire Brigade, including this appliance, were absorbed into the London Fire Brigade. The turntable ladder is mounted on a Dennis-Rolls Royce petrol engine appliance, a combination that was a common sight during the 1960s. The Metz turntable ladder, with its distinctive design, was a versatile piece of firefighting equipment, capable of reaching great heights and providing access to otherwise inaccessible areas. The ladder's turntable mechanism allowed it to rotate 360 degrees, enabling firefighters to maneuver it to the best position for tackling a fire. This appliance, with its powerful engine, was an essential part of the fire service's arsenal during this era. The Dennis-Rolls Royce engine provided the necessary power to transport the ladder to the scene of an incident, while the Metz ladder enabled firefighters to reach great heights and access burning buildings. The absorption of Essex Fire Brigade vehicles, such as this one, into the London Fire Brigade expanded the fleet and strengthened the capabilities of the newly formed GLC-LFB. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of firefighting equipment and the merger of fire services in London during the 1960s.
