EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the GLC-LFB (Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade) foam tender from Heston fire station (D27), which was formerly part of the Middlesex Fire Brigade. The image was captured in 1966, two years after the GLC-LFB was formed on 1 April 1965. The enlarged London Fire Brigade absorbed various fire services, including the Middlesex Fire Brigade, resulting in a diverse fleet of appliances. The foam tender, a vital component of the fire service, is equipped with a powerful pump and an extensive supply of foam to extinguish fires in hazardous environments, such as oil spills or chemical fires. The vehicle's distinctive red body and white foam tanks make it instantly recognizable. The fire engine, with its service number prominently displayed on the side, is seen here stationed at Heston fire station. The station, located in the London Borough of Hounslow, has a rich history and continues to serve the community with various fire appliances, including modern-day foam tenders. This photograph offers a glimpse into the 1960s firefighting era, showcasing the evolution of the London Fire Brigade's fleet. The image is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the firefighters who operated these appliances, ensuring the safety and protection of Londoners during emergencies.
