EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the early 1990s, we see the Leyton Fire Station of the London Fire Brigade, located at 90b Church Road in London's E10 postcode area. The red brick building, with its distinctive art deco features, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. To the left of the station, three firefighting appliances are housed in neatly arranged sheds, their hoses and ladders coiled and ready for action. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, is the statutory fire and rescue service for Greater London. This particular station, in the East End of London, has served the local community for many decades. The photograph captures the essence of the fire station as a vital and essential part of the community, ready to respond to emergencies at a moment's notice. The appliances in the photograph are Dennis Sabre fire engines, a common sight on the streets of London during the 1990s. The red engines, with their powerful pumping capabilities, were the workhorses of the London Fire Brigade during this period. The firefighters who operated these engines were highly trained professionals, dedicated to saving lives and protecting property. The photograph also highlights the importance of the fire station sheds, which provide essential shelter for the appliances and allow them to be quickly and easily deployed when needed. The neat and orderly arrangement of the sheds is a testament to the discipline and efficiency of the London Fire Brigade. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of firefighting in London during the 1990s, capturing the vital role of the Leyton Fire Station and its appliances in protecting the local community.
