EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's (LFB) fireboat Delta II gracefully navigating the River Thames in London during the 1920s. The fireboat, a vital component of the LFB's waterborne firefighting fleet, is shown here with its powerful hoses and pumps at the ready. The vessel, adorned with the LFB insignia, is a testament to the advanced firefighting capabilities of the time. The River Thames, a major transportation artery in London, was a common venue for fires, particularly those involving ships and docks. Fireboats like Delta II were essential in extinguishing such blazes, often before they could spread and cause significant damage to property or loss of life. The image, taken from Victoria Embankment, showcases the fireboat's sleek design and impressive size, dwarfing the nearby boats and vessels. The water shimmers in the sunlight, reflecting the boat's vibrant red color and the London skyline in the background. Delta II and her sister boats played a crucial role in the LFB's firefighting operations, providing quick and effective responses to emergencies on the river. Their legacy continues today, with modern fireboats maintaining a strong presence on the Thames, ensuring the safety and security of Londoners and its visitors.
