LCC-LFB Fire display at Brigade HQ Southwark

The London Fire Brigade encouraged, for very many years, a good public image by opening its doors to the public to special fire brigade displays. On Saturday afternoons, during the summer months, it was a regular feature to see displays at the Southwark Headquarters. As the picture shows it drew large, and frequently a boater-hatted, crowds. A motorised fire engine works two firefighting jets, while a turntable ladder is fully extended to the top of the drill tower. Where there was space to stand and watch the public took every opportunity to do so

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken at the Southwark Headquarters of the London Fire Brigade, showcases an enthralling fire display that was a beloved summer tradition for many years. The London Fire Brigade, with a strong emphasis on public relations, welcomed the public to witness these special events every Saturday afternoon. As depicted in the image, a motorised fire engine pumps water through two firefighting jets, while a turntable ladder reaches the summit of the drill tower. The crowd, consisting of onlookers dressed in hats and summer attire, eagerly gathers to witness the spectacle, creating a lively and spirited atmosphere. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to public engagement is evident in this scene, as they showcased their impressive fleet of vehicles, including motorised engines, steamers, horses, and even a train, during these training exercises. The public was given a unique opportunity to observe the firefighters in action, fostering a sense of community and appreciation for the vital role the London Fire Brigade plays in protecting the city.
