EDITORS COMMENTS
In the 1990s, the London Fire Brigade introduced a new generation of fire rescue tenders, both large and small, to its fleet. The heavy rescue unit, as depicted in this photograph, was equipped with a comprehensive range of cutting and spreading tools, larger crews, breathing apparatus, and chemical protection suits. These units were essential for dealing with complex and hazardous situations, such as road traffic accidents involving trapped passengers or industrial accidents involving hazardous materials. The light rescue unit, on the other hand, was a more agile and versatile vehicle. While it carried lifting and spreading equipment, it did not have the same extensive array of tools as the heavy unit. Instead, it focused on providing a quick response to incidents where a smaller crew and more compact equipment were sufficient. The image captures the open compartments of a light rescue unit, revealing the various tools and equipment stored within. The red and yellow livery of the vehicle is a familiar sight on the streets of London, symbolizing the bravery and dedication of the London Fire Brigade in protecting the city's residents and businesses. The 1990s marked a significant period of innovation in fire rescue services, with new technologies and equipment being introduced to enhance the brigade's capabilities and improve its response times. These new tenders were a testament to the London Fire Brigade's commitment to providing the best possible service to the people of London.
