EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Acton Volunteer Fire Brigade in London, England, in the early 1900s, as they prepare for duty with their horse-drawn appliances. Dating back to 1902, this image showcases the firefighting equipment typical of the Edwardian era. The brigade's impressive collection includes a horse-drawn steam fire engine, which harnessed the power of steam to pump water, a horse-drawn manual pump, used to manually pump water from a nearby water source, and two horse-drawn escapes. These escapes were designed to quickly transport firefighters to the scene of a blaze and were often pulled by horses at breakneck speed. Additionally, a hand-wheeled escape and a hose cart are also present. The firemen, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen checking and preparing their equipment, demonstrating their readiness and dedication to their vital community service. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the early days of firefighting and the bravery and commitment of the volunteers who risked their lives to protect their community using these horse-drawn appliances.
