LCC-LFB Dual purpose pump escape at Lambeth HQ
A Dennis F7 pump escape at Lambeth HQ, a classic postwar fire engine newly in service in London. It was powered by a 150 bhp 5.7 litre Rolls-Royce engine and served initially at Lambeth Fire Station, and latterly at other fire stations in SE London until it was retired in 1968. The F7 was a truly beautiful looking fire engine with a coach-built body and a fine road performance. Many F7s went into service in fire brigades throughout the UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Dennis F7 pump escape, a dual-purpose fire engine that once proudly served the London Fire Brigade (LFB) at their Lambeth Headquarters. Dating back to the late 1940s, this classic postwar appliance was a beautiful addition to the London firefighting fleet. Powered by a mighty 150 bhp 5.7 liter Rolls-Royce engine, the F7 boasted an impressive road performance and a coach-built body that exuded an air of elegance and sophistication. Initially stationed at Lambeth Fire Station, this F7 pump escape later went on to serve other fire stations in Southeast London before its retirement in 1968. The F7 was a popular model, with many similar appliances being put into service in fire brigades throughout the United Kingdom. The Dennis F7 was not only a powerful fire engine, but it also served as an escape vehicle, providing a vital means of transportation for firefighters in emergencies. With its pumps and ladders on board, this appliance was a versatile and essential piece of equipment for the London Fire Brigade. This photograph, taken in the yard of Lambeth Headquarters, captures the essence of the F7's timeless beauty and the important role it played in London's firefighting history. The classic lines of the coach-built body, the gleaming Rolls-Royce engine, and the proud LFB insignia all combine to create a striking image that transports us back to the 1940s and the golden age of firefighting in London.
