EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of firefighting in the late 19th century as members of the London Fire Brigade operate a Merryweather horsed steam pump. The Merryweather pump, a vital piece of firefighting equipment, is drawn by a team of strong horses, its large wheels turning as steam hisses from its chimney. The firewomen, dressed in protective uniforms and helmets, work together to control the hoses and direct the powerful jet of water towards a blazing building in the background. Their determined expressions and focused demeanor convey the urgency and intensity of the situation. The scene is a testament to the physical strength, teamwork, and bravery required to combat fires during this era. The horses, too, play a crucial role in the firefighting process, their powerful muscles straining as they pull the heavy apparatus towards the fire. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when firefighting was a more manual and labor-intensive process.
