Firefighters with one of the first emergency tenders
Firefighters and a van with their equipment laid out. Four of the firefighters are wearing proto-breathing apparatus. In 1929 the Brigade introduced the first enclosed emergency tender to respond to large fires where breathing apparatus was needed, together with the first non-fire emergencies, including car and rail crashes and various mechanical accidents and human tragedy. The new emergency tenders, built upon a Dennis chassis and based in Lambeth and Clerkenwell, were travelling workshops, the forerunners of todays modern fire service rescue tenders in use through the British Fire Service

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1920s, showcases a group of brave firefighters from the London Fire Brigade (LFB) with their innovative new emergency tender. Four firefighters are seen wearing early prototype breathing apparatus, a significant advancement in firefighting technology at the time. In 1929, the London Fire Brigade introduced the first enclosed emergency tenders to respond to large-scale fires where breathing apparatus was essential. These new tenders, built upon a Dennis chassis and based in Lambeth and Clerkenwell, were traveling workshops, marking the beginning of modern fire service rescue tenders. The emergence of these emergency tenders signified a turning point in the fire service, enabling them to tackle not only fires but also non-fire emergencies, such as car and rail crashes, mechanical accidents, and human tragedies. The van, filled with essential equipment, was the forerunner of today's advanced rescue tenders used by fire services across the British Isles. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the London Fire Brigade, illustrating the evolution of firefighting vehicles and the expansion of their role beyond extinguishing fires. The firefighters in this image, with their determined expressions and readiness to face any challenge, serve as a reminder of the courage and dedication of the men and women who protect our communities today.
