The circular, brown sign with bold white text is a stark reminder of a bygone era in fire safety communication. The service notice, issued by the London Fire Brigade (LFB), instructs individuals to "Break Glass, Pull Knob" in the event of a fire emergency. The simple yet effective instructions were designed to ensure that help was summoned quickly and efficiently, potentially saving lives. The image transports us back to the 1950s, an era characterized by post-war optimism and a growing focus on modernizing infrastructure. Fire safety was no exception, and the London Fire Brigade played a crucial role in ensuring that buildings and communities were equipped with the necessary fire safety measures. The photograph also highlights the importance of communication and the evolution of firefighting equipment. The round, brown sign was likely a common sight in buildings across London during the 1950s, serving as a crucial link between the public and the fire brigade. The image also showcases the early stages of fire alarm technology, which relied on manual activation and communication with the fire brigade. Today, fire alarm systems have become more sophisticated, with automatic detection and instant communication capabilities.
