London Fire Brigade street fire alarm and telephone point
In 1904 the Metropolitan Fire Brigade changed its name to the London Fire Brigade. Less than one year later it was possible for crews to call in to Southwark Headquarters from a remote point, using a street fire alarm call point. In this way urgent requests for assistance could be relayed, as well as information about firefighting operations and general backup support required, especially at major fires

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a London Fire Brigade fireman stands attentively next to a street fire alarm call point, his helmet in hand and his eyes fixed on the distant horizon. The year is 1904, and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade has recently undergone a significant transformation, changing its name to the London Fire Brigade. This technological advancement, which occurred less than a year after the name change, revolutionized the way urgent fire calls were made and crucial information was relayed between fire stations. The fireman's gaze is focused on the telephone point attached to the call box, a vital communication tool that allowed crews to call in to Southwark Headquarters from remote locations. With the simple press of a button on the fire alarm call point, a direct line was established, enabling them to request assistance and provide updates on firefighting operations. This system was particularly essential during major fires, when backup support was required to ensure the safety of the community and prevent the spread of the blaze. The London Fire Brigade's adoption of this innovative communication system marked a significant milestone in the history of firefighting services. It not only improved response times but also facilitated better coordination and collaboration among fire crews, ultimately enhancing their ability to protect the people and property of London from the destructive forces of fire. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of effective communication in emergency situations and the evolution of the London Fire Brigade's role in safeguarding the city. The fireman's vigilant stance and the ready telephone at his side symbolize the unwavering commitment of the London Fire Brigade to ensuring the safety and well-being of the citizens of London.
