EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from the extensive collection of the Mary Evans Picture Library, presents a mesmerizing glimpse into the past of the West Ham Fire Brigade. Established in 1870, the brigade was an essential part of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) network, providing vital firefighting services to the West Ham area. The image showcases a manual horse-drawn fire pump, an essential appliance in the brigade's arsenal during the Victorian era. The powerful steam-powered pump, with its intricate design and meticulously crafted details, was the backbone of the firefighting capabilities during this time. The crew, dressed in their iconic firefighting uniforms, are poised and ready, their determined expressions reflecting the gravity of their duties. The team of firefighters, both firemen and firewomen, are seen here with their ladder appliance, which was another crucial piece of equipment in their inventory. The ladders, carefully arranged and secured, would enable the brave men and women to reach great heights and tackle fires in multi-story buildings. This photograph offers a unique insight into the history of firefighting in London, providing a fascinating look at the tools, techniques, and dedication of the West Ham Fire Brigade during the Victorian era. The horse-drawn pump and the Victorian fire crew are a testament to the courage and resilience of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect their communities, long before the advent of modern firefighting equipment.
