EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a 'corridor' engine, a portable electrically powered fire extinguisher by Merryweather's Greenwich. The cylinder of this innovative device held an impressive 120 litres of extinguishing power, making it a crucial tool in combating fires during that time period. In the illustration, we see the urgency with which this extinguisher was rushed to the seat of the fire. Once on site, it was quickly plugged into the domestic electricity supply, ready to unleash its powerful capabilities and help save lives and property from destruction. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the technological advancements of the era but also emphasize the importance placed on fire safety during that time. The combination of electric power and firefighting prowess embodied in this corridor engine is a testament to human ingenuity and determination to protect against one of nature's most destructive forces. As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of fire safety technology while also appreciating the craftsmanship and innovation that went into creating such a vital piece of equipment. It serves as both a window into our past and a beacon guiding us towards a safer future.
