EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the GLC-LFB appliance fleet in the late 1960s, a significant period in the history of the London Fire Brigade. Established on 1st April 1965, the Greater London Council (GLC) London Fire Brigade absorbed various fire services, leading to an enlarged fleet of fire engines. To document this new era, a series of photographs was commissioned, capturing each type of engine within the brigade. The photograph was taken by the LFB's own Photographic Unit, which was based at the Brigade headquarters in Lambeth. The Unit attended all major and fatal fires, documenting the events for training, historical, and record-keeping purposes. In this image, we see a diverse range of fire engines and vans, each with its unique characteristics and capabilities. The appliances were essential tools for the brave firefighters, who risked their lives to save others. The photograph transports us back to the 1960s, a time when the London Fire Brigade was undergoing significant changes. The GLC-LFB's appliance fleet was a testament to the advancements in firefighting technology and the commitment of the brigade to protect the people of London. This photograph is a valuable addition to the London Fire Brigade's extensive collection, which is held by Mary Evans Picture Library. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the history of firefighting in the capital city.
