EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts members of the London Fire Brigade engaged in a training exercise with a hand-operated 75-foot turntable ladder, supplied by Shand Mason of Blackfriars in the late 1890s. The ladder, drawn by horses, is shown in the London Fire Brigade headquarters yard, surrounded by firefighting equipment and hoses. The firemen, dressed in their Victorian uniforms, are seen practicing the intricacies of setting up the ladder, preparing the hose, and adjusting the ladder's angle to reach the aerial view. The turntable ladder, a vital piece of equipment for reaching high-rise buildings and other hard-to-reach areas, was a hand-operated innovation that allowed the ladder to rotate 360 degrees, enabling firefighters to access various angles and heights with ease. The ladder, which was drawn by a team of horses, was a common sight in London's streets during emergencies, and its presence in the brigade's headquarters yard indicates that the firemen were preparing for any eventuality. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the training methods and equipment used by the London Fire Brigade during the Victorian era. The horses, hoses, and firefighting equipment, all arranged in the yard, add to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to an era when firefighting was a more manual and labor-intensive process.
