LCC-LFB fireboat Massey Shaw in action
The Massey Shaw fireboat at its first major riverside warehouse fire on the River Thames. The Colonial Wharf fire in Wapping High Street E1 occurred on 27 September 1935. It was the largest blaze that the London Fire Brigade had fought for a number of years. The nine-storey warehouse was full of crude rubber and it burned for four days, during which time a number of explosions took place. Sixty pumps and twenty special appliances plus three fireboats, manned by some 600 firefighters fought the huge blaze: they successfully prevented fire from spreading to the surrounding warehouses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's Massey Shaw fireboat in action during the Colonial Wharf fire that broke out on the River Thames in Wapping High Street, E1, on 27 September 1935. The nine-storey warehouse was filled with crude rubber, making it the largest blaze that the London Fire Brigade had fought for years. The fire raged for an impressive four days, during which time a series of explosions took place. With the threat of the fire spreading to the surrounding warehouses looming, an impressive force of 600 firefighters, 60 pumps, and 20 special appliances, along with three fireboats, including the Massey Shaw, were deployed to combat the inferno. The Massey Shaw fireboat, with its powerful jets, played a crucial role in preventing the fire from engulfing the surrounding area. The smoke-filled image of the Massey Shaw fireboat in action on the Thames is a testament to the bravery and determination of the firefighters during this major riverside blaze.
