EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the GLC-LFB Headquarters in Lambeth, London, during the 1960s. The image showcases the iconic firefighting appliances of Lambeth Fire Station, which were housed in the ground and first floor of the main building. The forecourt of the headquarters is filled with a pump-escape, a pump, and a turntable ladder, all ready for immediate deployment. The pump, an essential piece of equipment for extinguishing fires, is shown in the foreground, its hoses coiled neatly beside it. The pump-escape, a ladder with steps and handrails, is positioned next to it, providing a quick escape route for firefighters. The turntable ladder, a versatile appliance that can reach great heights, is visible in the background, its ladder sections extended and ready for action. The fire engines and crews of Lambeth Fire Station were an integral part of the London Fire Brigade's response to emergencies during this era. The vehicles, which were transported to the scene of a fire, were essential for delivering water, tools, and personnel to tackle the blaze effectively. The crews, who were highly trained and dedicated, worked tirelessly to save lives and protect property. This photograph, taken in 1966, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the vital role that fire stations and their appliances played in keeping London safe during the 1960s. The image is a testament to the bravery and professionalism of the firefighters who served in the London Fire Brigade and continues to inspire new generations of firefighters today.
