EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the rich history of firefighting in Clapham, London, with a vintage LFDCA-LFB fire engine from the Middlesex Fire Brigade era on display at the fire station. The absorption of Middlesex Fire Brigade into the enlarged London Fire Brigade in 1965 marked the end of an era, but the legacy of these historic appliances lives on. The Dennis dual-purpose appliance in this image was carefully restored by dedicated fire service enthusiasts and has since been used in various displays and open days, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. The vehicle, adorned with its red and grey livery, stands proudly to the right of Clapham's modern-day pump, showcasing a striking contrast between old and new. Middlesex Fire Brigade's pump escape, a vital piece of firefighting equipment, was designed to provide a quick escape route for firefighters during emergencies. This appliance, with its ladder and escape capabilities, is a testament to the innovation and resourcefulness of firefighters throughout history. The 1990s, a time of nostalgia and heritage, saw a renewed interest in preserving the history of firefighting. This photograph, taken in the early 1990s, encapsulates the spirit of that era, reminding us of the importance of preserving the past while embracing the future. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to maintaining the legacy of these historic appliances is a testament to their dedication to firefighting history and tradition.
