EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the appliance room of the newly commissioned Lewisham Fire Station, located in Lewisham High Street, South East London, in the late 1960s. The room is filled with the London Fire Brigade's modern firefighting equipment, including a pump-escape, pump, and emergency tender, all standing in readiness for the next call. The pump-escape, a crucial piece of equipment for rescuing firefighters from burning buildings, is prominently displayed at the center of the room. In the distance, the station's watchroom can be seen, where firefighters would gather to receive dispatch instructions and strategize their responses. The appliances, with their gleaming metal surfaces and fresh coats of red paint, exude a sense of purpose and preparedness. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a fire station during the 1960s, a time when firefighting technology was rapidly evolving and the importance of quick response times was increasingly recognized. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to protecting the people and property of Lewisham and the surrounding areas is evident in this image, making it a valuable historical record of firefighting in London during this era.
