In this photograph from the 1930s, the London Fire Brigade's newly commissioned fireboat, Massey Shaw, showcases its impressive pumping capacity at its Blackfriars river station on the Victoria Embankment. With the Thames as its backdrop, the fireboat's eight monitors are in full operation, discharging a vast amount of water at high pressure. The sight draws a crowd of curious onlookers from the Embankment above, who watch in awe as the powerful vessel demonstrates its capabilities. The Massey Shaw fireboat, a vital addition to the London Fire Brigade's fleet, is moored at its station, ready for service. The crew, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen working diligently on the deck, ensuring that the boat's appliances are in perfect working order. This practice drill is essential to maintain the boat's readiness for any emergency situation that may arise on the River Thames. The hoses, coiled neatly on the deck, are connected to the monitors, ready to be deployed when needed. The jet of water, shooting high into the air, is a testament to the boat's immense power and the dedication of its crew. The Massey Shaw fireboat, with its impressive display of pumping capacity, is a vital part of the London Fire Brigade's arsenal in the fight against fires on the Thames and its surrounding areas. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the advanced technology and the importance of the fireboat service in London during that era. The Massey Shaw fireboat, with its powerful pumps and dedicated crew, continues to play a crucial role in the London Fire Brigade's firefighting efforts to this day.
