EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment as the London Fire Brigade (LFB) transitioned from horse-drawn fire appliances to motorised engines. In this image, a sleek, motorised Hatfield-type fire engine is proudly displayed, marking the beginning of a new era in firefighting. The London Fire Brigade was at the forefront of this technological advancement, with the last horse-drawn appliance, a turntable ladder, being withdrawn in 1921. The adoption of motorised fire engines brought about significant changes, leading to the closure of many fire stations that had previously relied on horse-drawn engines. The motorised Hatfield-type engine showcased in this photograph is a prime example of the innovative technology that revolutionised firefighting capabilities. Equipped with powerful steam pumps and a ladder, this vehicle offered increased mobility and efficiency compared to its horse-drawn predecessors. The hoses and pumps were also motorised, enabling firefighters to reach and extinguish fires more quickly and effectively. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and the evolution of firefighting equipment. The transition from horse-drawn appliances to motorised engines marked a pivotal moment in the organisation's history, allowing them to better protect the city from the ever-evolving threats of fire. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of continuous innovation and progress in emergency services.
