EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from the London Fire Brigade's archives at Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases an enclosed pump from the 1930s at Lambeth Fire Station in London, SE1. The LCC-LFB enclosed pump, with its distinctive design and carried breathing apparatus, is a testament to the advanced firefighting technology of the era. The preparations for the impending outbreak of war are evident in the image, with the sandbagging of the headquarters building on the far side of the drill yard. The sandbags, piled high against the brick walls, were a common sight during the 1930s as part of pre-war preparations to protect important buildings and infrastructure from potential damage. The fire engine, adorned with the London Fire Brigade logo, is flanked by ladders, adding to the versatility of this essential appliance. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the spirit of resilience and readiness that defined the London Fire Brigade during the 1930s. With the looming threat of war, these brave firefighters were more determined than ever to protect their communities and keep London safe.
