Fire Safety in the Theatre: A Vital Backstage Connection to Firefighters This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essential connection between fire safety measures in the theatre and the London Fire Brigade. The image, taken in a backstage corner, reveals a notice that reads, "Release for stage lantern, in case of fire pull down lever." This notice, a testament to the rich history of theatre safety, is a crucial reminder of the collaborative efforts between theatre personnel and firefighters to ensure the safety of performers, crew, and audiences. The scene is set in a dimly lit, cluttered backstage area. A worn-out clock ticks away in the background, while switches and knobs for various stage lights are scattered around the room. A bakelite phone, a historical relic, sits on a table, ready to be used in case of an emergency. In the foreground, a fire extinguisher, a fireman's helmet, and a chain with a knob and a lever are all within reach. The focus of the photograph, however, is on the fire safety equipment. A lantern, its glass covered to protect against shattering, hangs from the ceiling, ready to be released in case of a fire. A fireman's glove rests on the lantern, emphasizing the importance of this equipment in the event of a fire. The lever, the crucial element of the fire safety system, is easily accessible and ready to be pulled down. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that fire safety measures play in the world of theatre. It underscores the importance of collaboration between theatre personnel and firefighters, and the historical significance of fire safety equipment in ensuring the safety of all involved in the theatrical experience.
