EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1900s, a group of brave firefighters from the Lee Green Fire Station in SE London stand proudly in front of their fire station, located at 345 Lee High Road. The fire station, which was in operation before it moved to a new building in nearby Eltham Road in 1905, is identified by the distinctive red doors and the large, ornate fire hydrant at the base of the station's steps. The firemen, all wearing their full uniforms, exude a sense of camaraderie and readiness. Each fireman wears a flat cap with a fire service insignia, a white shirt, a red tie, and trousers, as well as heavy leather boots. Some of them hold hoses, while others carry axes and other essential firefighting tools. The Lee Green Fire Station was part of the London County Council Fire Brigade (LCC-LFB), which was established in 1865 to provide fire protection to the growing population of London. The fire brigade was responsible for responding to fires, rescuing people from burning buildings, and providing emergency medical assistance. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and professionalism of the firefighters who risked their lives to keep the community safe. The image is a testament to the important role that firefighters play in our society and the essential services they provide to protect people and property from the devastating effects of fire.
