The 1960s were a pivotal decade for the London Fire Brigade as they absorbed various smaller fire services into their organization. This foam tender, which was previously part of the Essex Fire Brigade, was transferred to Barking fire station, where it became an essential part of the emergency response fleet. The foam tender was designed to carry large quantities of foam, which was used to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids, such as petrol or oil.
