EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases London Fire Brigade's Dennis Dual-Purpose Pump, registration number D61, proudly displayed in the Brigade's Lambeth Headquarters drill yard. The Dennis pump, a staple of the fire service fleet during the 1950s, is a testament to the rich history of firefighting in London. The Dennis pump is a side-mounted engine, with its distinctive red body adorned with the London Fire Brigade insignia. The vehicle's dual-purpose design is evident in the side-mounted pump outlets, which allow for both suction and discharge of water. The hose-reel tubing, coiled neatly at the back of the vehicle, is ready for deployment at a moment's notice. Two hook ladders are also visible, adding to the pump's versatility as a rescue vehicle. The Dennis pump was a common sight on the streets of London during the 1950s, serving as a crucial piece of equipment in the Brigade's arsenal against fires. Its presence in the drill yard of the headquarters is a reminder of the vital role it played in protecting the city and its people. The photograph, taken in 1957, captures the Dennis pump in its element, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the Brigade's operations. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of firefighting technology. The London Fire Brigade's collection of historic vehicles, including the Dennis Dual-Purpose Pump, is a valuable reminder of the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who have served the city over the decades. This photograph is a testament to their legacy and the importance of preserving the history of firefighting in London.
