EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's Mercedes Command Support Unit (CSU) in action at Battersea Park during the 1990s. The CSU, which was based at the Southern Command headquarters in Croydon, was staffed by just two junior officers. This versatile unit was deployed to incidents requiring the attendance of four fire engines or more, providing essential support to the incident commander. On larger incidents, the CSU played a crucial role in supporting the Major Command Unit. The Mercedes vehicle, adorned with the distinctive London Fire Brigade red and yellow livery, was equipped with advanced communication and navigation systems, enabling the officers to effectively coordinate resources and manage the incident from a strategic perspective. The CSU was an integral part of the London Fire Brigade's response to emergencies during the 1990s. Its presence at the scene ensured that command and control functions were streamlined, allowing firefighters to focus on their primary task of saving lives and extinguishing fires. This photograph, taken at Battersea Park, offers a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the London Fire Brigade during a pivotal decade in its history. The CSU's Mercedes vehicle, with its support, service, and transport functions, proved to be an invaluable asset in the brigade's arsenal, ensuring that the organization was well-equipped to tackle the challenges of the 1990s and beyond.
