This photograph captures the GLC-LFB (Greater London Council-London Fire Brigade) foam tender from Barking fire station (L27), which was transferred from the Essex Fire Brigade on 1 April 1965. The enlarged London Fire Brigade commissioned a series of photos of each type of fire engine, including this foam tender, to document their new fleet. The 1960s were a pivotal decade for the London Fire Brigade as they absorbed various smaller fire services into their organization. This foam tender, which was previously part of the Essex Fire Brigade, was transferred to Barking fire station, where it became an essential part of the emergency response fleet. The foam tender was designed to carry large quantities of foam, which was used to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids, such as petrol or oil.
