EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Major Control Unit of the Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) Headquarters, located at Lambeth, London, in the 1960s. The GLC-LFB was formed on 1 April 1965, following the merger of various fire services in and around London. In order to effectively manage this enlarged brigade, it was divided into three Command areas: Northern, Eastern, and Southern, each with a Command Headquarters. This image showcases the Major Control Unit stationed at Brigade HQ in Lambeth. The Major Control Unit was responsible for coordinating and dispatching fire engines and other appliances to incidents across the city. The control room was equipped with the latest technology and communication systems to ensure a swift and efficient response. The room was manned by highly trained fire officers who were responsible for assessing the nature of each call and dispatching the most appropriate fire engine or appliance. The photograph features several fire appliances, including fire engines and vans, parked outside the control unit. These vehicles were part of the GLC-LFB's fleet and were stationed at various fire stations across the city. The appliances were ready to be dispatched at a moment's notice to attend to any fire emergencies. The Major Control Unit at Lambeth was a crucial part of the GLC-LFB's operations during the 1960s. Its role in coordinating the response to fires and other emergencies ensured that the brigade was able to provide a swift and effective service to the people of London. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the workings of the GLC-LFB during this period.
