EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the LCC-LFB Shand Mason motor steam fire engine, a remarkable innovation in firefighting technology. Developed in 1909, this motor steam appliance boasted independent pumping and propelling engines, a design that came after the Merryweather Fire King self-propelled steam engine. The engine's oil-burning boiler is visible, along with its double-cylinder reversing engine. The chain drive from the engine is prominently displayed, attached to the axle of the rear wheel. The London Fire Brigade was the first to purchase this advanced piece of equipment, marking a significant step forward in firefighting capabilities. This Edwardian-era vehicle represents a pivotal moment in fire service history, as it combined the power and efficiency of steam with the mobility of a motorized vehicle. The LCC-LFB Shand Mason motor steam fire engine was a game-changer in the fire service, offering increased maneuverability and response times. Its independent pumping and propelling engines allowed firefighters to reach the scene of a fire more quickly and effectively tackle the blaze. This photograph, taken at the London Fire Brigade headquarters in Southwark, SE1, is a testament to the progression of firefighting technology during the early 20th century. The LCC-LFB Shand Mason motor steam fire engine is an essential addition to any collection of historical fire service vehicles and equipment.
