EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the horse-drawn steamer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) at their Greenwich station on Bisset Street in SE London, during the latter years of the 19th century. The Metropolitan Fire Brigade, later renamed the London Fire Brigade in 1904, was established in 1865 and was the first organized firefighting service in London. The horse-drawn steamers were an essential part of their firefighting equipment, providing a powerful and versatile means of extinguishing fires in the city's buildings. In this image, we see a team of dedicated firefighters harnessed to the steamer, their faces set with determination as they prepare to respond to an emergency call. The steamer, with its large, bulky boiler and intricate machinery, is a testament to the advanced technology of the time. The horse, powerful and steadfast, stands patiently at the front, ready to pull the heavy appliance to the scene of the fire. The fire station, with its red brick facade and tall chimney, is a symbol of the vital role the MFB played in protecting the community from the destructive power of fire. The horses, engines, and appliances were the backbone of the fire service, and the crews, like the one depicted here, were the heroes who put their lives on the line to keep London safe. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the world of Victorian firefighting and the important role that horse-drawn steamers played in the London Fire Brigade's history.
