EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of firefighting. Taken in 1909 at the London Fire Brigade Headquarters, it showcases firemen demonstrating hoses operated by a petrol motor pump. The brave firefighters can be seen skillfully directing powerful jets of water through the top windows onto the courtyard below. The image provides a glimpse into early 20th-century emergency services and their dedication to protecting lives and property from devastating fires. The location, Southwark Bridge Road, adds an authentic touch to this snapshot of London's past. The men depicted in this monochrome scene exemplify professionalism and courage as they practice their life-saving profession. Their fire engine stands proudly nearby, ready for action at any given moment. This demonstration was likely organized by the Greater London Council (GLC) or its predecessor, the London County Council (LCC), both responsible for overseeing firefighting operations during that time. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this photograph serves as a testament to the advancements made in firefighting equipment throughout history. It is an invaluable piece of heritage that reminds us of those who risked their lives daily to keep our communities safe.
