EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's (LFB) Euston fire station in the 1930s, showcasing the evolution of the fire service over time. Originally opened in 1902 with just two engine bays, the station underwent an extension in the interim years, expanding to accommodate five bays on its forecourt in the Euston Road. In this image, various appliances and crews of the London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade pose proudly before their modernized station. Fire engines, adorned with the distinctive LFB insignia, are positioned neatly in their bays, ready for action. The firemen, dressed in their uniforms, exude a sense of readiness and professionalism. The photograph also features a ladder truck, an essential piece of equipment for reaching high-rise buildings and other hard-to-reach areas. The transport vehicles, including a hose reel lorry and a chemical tender, are also present, highlighting the diverse range of equipment available to the firefighters. The brick and stone building, with its tall chimneys and arched windows, stands as a testament to the historical significance of the fire station. The firemen, with their determined expressions and polished boots, embody the bravery and dedication of the London Fire Brigade's long-standing tradition of firefighting. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the transformation of Euston fire station and the London Fire Brigade's commitment to serving the community during the 1930s. The image is a valuable historical record of the fire service's rich history and the important role it plays in protecting the people of London.
