EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured on Blackheath in SE London during the 1990s, three appliances from Greenwich Fire Station proudly display their distinctive red and yellow livery. The two Volvo Saxon appliances, with their powerful diesel engines, represent the versatility of the modern fire service. The first appliance, a dual-purpose engine, is equipped with both a pump and a ladder, making it an essential tool for tackling various types of fires and emergencies. The second Saxon appliance is a pump-only engine, designed for rapid response to incidents requiring large amounts of water. The third appliance, the Simon Snorkel hydraulic platform, adds an impressive height to the firefighting team's arsenal. This hydraulic platform, also known as a snorkel, extends to great heights, enabling firefighters to reach otherwise inaccessible areas, such as the upper stories of buildings or high-reaching trees. With its robust design and advanced technology, this appliance played a crucial role in rescuing people and extinguishing fires in situations where traditional ladders were insufficient. The combination of these three appliances, along with the dedicated and skilled firefighters who operated them, ensured that Greenwich Fire Station was well-equipped to handle a wide range of emergencies during the 1990s. The grassy expanse of Blackheath serves as a fitting backdrop to this impressive display of firefighting transport, showcasing the vital role that these vehicles played in keeping the community safe.
