GLC-LFB Forced entry and lighting unit at Clapham
The mid 1970s saw a number of innovative appliance designs come into play as the London Fire Brigade adapted to an ever changing and more Health and Safety conscious working environment. This transit-based fire engine supplemented incident ground lighting and provided a range of tools (breaking in equipment) to force firefighters entry into secure premises. The equipment was later introduced on other fire engines as a norm and the forced entry and lighting unit was discontinued. Here it is shown at its base station, Clapham fire station, SW4

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the GLC-LFB (Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade) Forced Entry and Lighting Unit at its base station in Clapham, SW4, during the mid 1970s. The 1970s marked a period of innovation for the London Fire Brigade as they adapted to a more Health and Safety conscious working environment. This transit-based fire engine was one such groundbreaking appliance, designed to supplement incident ground lighting and provide a range of tools for firefighters to force entry into secure premises. The equipment, which included breaking and entry tools, was later introduced on other fire engines as a norm and the Forced Entry and Lighting Unit was eventually discontinued.

The era of the 1970s was characterized by a growing focus on safety and the introduction of new, innovative designs in firefighting equipment.
