EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the evolution of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) with the depiction of GLC-LFB's Dual Purpose Pump-Escape fire engine from Chiswick fire station (D25). The image was taken on April 1, 1965, during a series of commissioned photos documenting each type of fire engine that was either within or absorbed into the enlarged London Fire Brigade. The pump-escape engine depicted here is a former Middlesex Fire Brigade appliance, specifically an AEC/Merryweather diesel engine. The AEC (Associated Equipment Company) chassis was paired with a Merryweather pump and escape equipment, making it a versatile and essential addition to the fire brigade's fleet. The dual purpose of this fire engine was crucial in the 1960s, as it combined the functions of a pumping appliance and an escape vehicle. The pump could be used to extinguish fires, while the escape equipment was designed to help firefighters reach and rescue their colleagues from burning buildings. The GLC-LFB (Greater London Council London Fire Brigade) was established on April 1, 1965, following the merger of the London Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, as well as the absorption of the Middlesex Fire Brigade and other smaller fire services. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and evolution of the London Fire Brigade and its vehicles, including this iconic AEC/Merryweather Dual Purpose Pump-Escape fire engine from Chiswick fire station (D25).
