LFCDA-LFB Fire Rescue tenders
The 1990s saw a new breed of fire rescue tenders, large and small, introduced into the London Fire Brigade. The heavy rescue unit carried a comprehensive range of cutting and spreading equipment, a larger crew, breathing apparatus and chemical protection suits. The light unit, whilst having lifting and spreading equipment, did not have the same scoop of equipment and carried a smaller crew. The picture shows a light rescue unit

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vibrant hues of the London Fire Brigade's iconic red and yellow, this photograph captures a light rescue unit from the 1990s. The era marked a significant transformation in fire rescue tenders, with both large and small vehicles being introduced into the London Fire Brigade (LFB). This image showcases the agile and versatile light unit, a crucial addition to the fleet. The light unit, easily distinguishable by its size and side-loading doors, was designed to carry a more modest crew and equipment complement compared to its heavy counterpart. Despite its smaller stature, it was equipped with essential lifting and spreading tools to tackle various rescue scenarios. The vehicle's compact design allowed it to navigate narrow streets and reach locations that larger tenders might find challenging. The 1990s brought about a new breed of fire rescue tenders, with the light unit being a testament to the Brigade's commitment to innovation and adaptability. The tender in the photograph is adorned with a comprehensive range of equipment, including cutting and spreading tools, breathing apparatus, and chemical protection suits. These essentials enabled the crew to respond effectively to various emergencies, ensuring the safety of Londoners and their property. This photograph offers a glimpse into the London Fire Brigade's rich history and its continuous efforts to provide the best possible response to the city's residents. The light unit, with its strategic design and advanced equipment, played a vital role in the Brigade's rescue operations during the 1990s and beyond.
