EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the evolution of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) with the depiction of a salvage tender from Thornton Heath fire station (H322), originally part of the Croydon Fire Brigade, which was absorbed into the enlarged London Fire Brigade on 1st April 1965. The GLC-LFB Salvage Tender, a vital addition to the firefighting fleet, is shown here parked at the station. The tender was designed to recover and salvage damaged vehicles and property following fires or other emergencies. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the vehicle's distinctive features and the uniformed firefighters preparing for their duties. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and the essential role that each appliance, including salvage tenders, plays in providing vital emergency services to the community. The image, taken in the 1960s, is part of a series of photographs commissioned by the London Fire Brigade to document their diverse fleet of fire engines and appliances. This photograph is available through Mary Evans Picture Library, courtesy of London Fire Brigade.
