EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's Breakdown Lorry (BL) stationed at Lambeth Headquarters in 1957. The BL was a vital component of the Brigade's fleet, responsible for responding to operational special service incidents and towing fire appliances that had broken down. The image shows the rugged and well-used vehicle, adorned with the London Fire Brigade insignia, parked outside the Lambeth station located on the Albert Embankment in SE1. The BL was a key piece of transport and equipment for the Brigade during the 1950s and 1950s, an era when firefighting vehicles were not as mechanically advanced as they are today. The BL was often called upon to attend road crashes, cars in trenches, and other similar incidents, as well as to tow fire appliances that had suffered mechanical failures and needed to be transported back to the Brigade workshops at Lambeth for repairs. The London Fire Brigade's Breakdown Lorry was a symbol of the essential services that kept the city running smoothly during this period. The image captures the vehicle's ruggedness and reliability, a testament to the important role it played in ensuring that the Brigade could continue to respond to emergencies and keep Londoners safe. The photograph also offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of firefighting in London during the mid-20th century.
