EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Westminster Fire Station, Francis Street, Victoria, during the latter years of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), before its renaming as the London Fire Brigade in 1904. The image showcases a horse-drawn steamer fire engine, an essential piece of equipment in the firefighting arsenal of the time. The steamer, with its distinctive tall chimney stack, is hitched to a team of powerful horses, their coats glistening with sweat from the exertion of pulling the heavy appliance. The firefighters, dressed in their old-fashioned uniforms, are seen attending to the engine, ensuring it is ready for action. The horses' heads are adorned with blankets and harnesses, a testament to the cold and damp conditions of the Victorian era. The fire station, with its red brick façade and large wooden doors, stands proudly in the background. The MFB's horse-drawn steamers were an integral part of the fire service, providing a rapid response to fires before the advent of motorized fire engines. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the daily routine of the firefighters and their horse-drawn steam appliances.
