EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and intensity of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) Brigade finals of the Technical Quiz in the 1960s. The competition, which took place annually, began with divisional heats that determined the top team from each of the Brigade's four divisions. The final round of the competition was held in the Lecture Room at Brigade headquarters, where this image was taken. The winning team that year proudly displays their trophy, hailing from Burdett Road fire station in Woolwich. Firemen from across London gathered to test their technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, making this a highly anticipated event in the Brigade's calendar. The teams sat around tables, ready to answer a range of questions related to firefighting equipment, procedures, and safety regulations. The 1960s were an era of innovation and progress in firefighting, and the Technical Quiz was an excellent way to encourage continuous learning and improvement within the Brigade. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the camaraderie and dedication of the London Fire Brigade during a time when teamwork and technical expertise were essential to saving lives and protecting the city.
