EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, London Fire Brigade firefighters are seen preparing for a dangerous mission, donning their GLC LFB Breathing Apparatus Communications Sets. This advanced equipment, no longer in operational use, was designed for use with compressed air breathing apparatus sets. Each set featured specially adapted full face masks with microphones fitted into them, allowing for clear communication between team members during firefighting operations. The communications equipment was battery operated, making it more portable and efficient than its bulky, wired counterparts. Each cable bag contained an impressive 100 metres of communication cable, which could be extended by connecting the cables together. This length allowed for effective communication between firefighters even in large-scale emergencies. The London Fire Brigade firefighters are seen carefully checking and organizing their gear, ensuring that every piece of equipment is in perfect working order. The image captures the intensity and focus of the team, as they prepare to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. The presence of oxygen cylinders and other firefighting supplies in the background further emphasizes the dangerous nature of their work. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the firefighting technology of the 1980s, a time when advancements in communications equipment were revolutionizing the way emergency services responded to incidents. The GLC LFB Breathing Apparatus Communications Sets represented a significant step forward in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of London's bravest heroes.
