EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Dennis dual-purpose pump-escape vehicle from the London Fire Brigade is stationed on Lambeth Bridge, with its hose-reel tubing and searchlight prominently displayed in front. The image, taken in the 1960s at D66 station in Brixton (Gresham Road, SW4), showcases the versatility and readiness of the firefighting equipment during that era. The Dennis dual-purpose pump-escape is a remarkable piece of firefighting machinery, combining the functions of a fire engine and an escape ladder in one vehicle. The 50-foot wooden wheeled escape ladder is visible at the rear of the vehicle, ready to be deployed in case of a high-rise building fire or other emergency situations requiring vertical access. The hose-reel tubing at the front of the vehicle is coiled neatly, awaiting use to extinguish flames and control water flow during firefighting operations. The searchlight, an essential tool for firefighting and rescue missions in the dark, is also visible in the photograph. This powerful light source would have been crucial in guiding firefighters to the scene of a fire and helping them navigate during their rescue efforts. The London Fire Brigade's fleet of Dennis dual-purpose pump-escapes played a significant role in the firefighting and rescue services of the city during the 1960s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, illustrating the vital role these vehicles played in ensuring the safety and protection of Londoners during emergencies.
