EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical photograph captures the moment of a London Fire Brigade (LFB) applicant undergoing his chest measurement during the recruitment process. The applicant, dressed in a white shirt and trousers, stands confidently with his arms relaxed at his sides as A D O Packer, the commandant of the Training School, carefully measures his chest using a tape measure. The minimum chest size requirement for LFB recruits was set at 36 inches with a two-inch expansion, ensuring that the firefighters had the necessary capacity to operate effectively in their protective gear. The importance of this measurement in the context of firefighting is highlighted by the serious expression on Packer's face and the applicant's focused gaze. The image offers a glimpse into the rigorous recruitment process that potential firefighters underwent to join the esteemed ranks of the London Fire Brigade. With a rich history dating back to 1865, the LFB has played a crucial role in protecting the city and its residents from fire hazards. This photograph is a reminder of the dedication and commitment required to serve in this vital public service.
