EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Sub Officer from the Lambeth (D61) emergency tender crew of the London Fire Brigade demonstrates the Southampton communications equipment worn with a full face mask on the Proto (oxygen) breathing apparatus set. Taken in the 1960s, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of firefighting during this era. The firefighter wears a heavy, textured uniform, adorned with various badges and insignia, reflecting his role as a Sub Officer. The communications set, attached to the left shoulder of his uniform, consists of a bulky two-way radio and a speaker microphone. The set is designed to be worn with the full face mask of the Proto oxygen breathing apparatus, ensuring that the firefighter can communicate effectively while working in the thick smoke and heat of an incident. The importance of clear and efficient communication between firefighters and their control officers cannot be overstated. With this advanced equipment, the firefighter on the scene can relay vital information about the fire's progression, the location of victims, or any hazards they may encounter. In turn, the control officer can provide instructions, offer guidance, and coordinate the response efforts from the outside. This photograph is a testament to the innovative safety measures and technology employed by the London Fire Brigade during the 1960s. The communications set, combined with the Proto oxygen breathing apparatus, allowed firefighters to work more effectively and safely in the most challenging of environments. The uniform, communication set, and breathing apparatus all work together to ensure the bravery and efficiency of the firefighters in their lifesaving mission.
