LCC-LFB Dennis motorised fire pump and crew
The introduction of the Dennis fire appliances would see the creation of dual-purpose fire engines capable of carrying either the 50 foot wheeled escape or, as here, adapted as a pump. The fire engine pictured is from No 1 station, Southwark, the headquarters of the London Fire Brigade until 1937 when it moved to the new purpose-built headquarters at Lambeth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's No. 1 Station in Southwark, the historic headquarters of the LFB until 1937, during the 1930s. In this image, we see a Dennis motorised fire pump and its dedicated crew, marking a significant moment in the evolution of firefighting vehicles in London. The introduction of Dennis fire appliances revolutionized the fire service with their dual-purpose capabilities. This particular appliance is adapted as a pump, replacing the standard 50-foot wheeled escape. The Dennis fire engine, a symbol of innovation and progress, was a game-changer in the firefighting world. The Dennis motorised pump is an essential piece of equipment for the London Fire Brigade, showcasing the brigade's commitment to modernizing its fleet and enhancing its ability to respond effectively to various emergency situations. The crew, dressed in their uniforms and ready for action, underscores the importance of human expertise in operating these advanced machines. This photograph not only represents the transformation of firefighting vehicles but also serves as a testament to the London Fire Brigade's dedication to providing the best possible service to the people of London during the 1930s. The combination of the Dennis motorised pump and its skilled crew demonstrates the crucial role that technology and trained personnel play in ensuring the safety and well-being of the community.
