This print takes us back to the era between the wars, specifically December 10th, 1935. It showcases a remarkable sight - the West Ham fire engine resembling a motor coach. The fire brigade of West Ham proudly acquired this new addition to their fleet, which boasts an innovative design. Intriguingly, the front of this fire engine is equipped with seats arranged in a motor coach fashion. Behind these seats sit the brave firemen, ready for action alongside their driver and officer. But what truly sets this vehicle apart is its impressive feature mounted on top - a brand-new 50 feet all-steel fire escape. The steel construction ensures utmost strength and reliability during rescue operations. Additionally, two powerful pumps flank either side of the engine, capable of delivering an astounding 800 gallons of water per minute. This combination of speed and efficiency makes it an invaluable asset in combating fires. The photo captures a moment when West Ham's courageous firefighters are demonstrating their newly acquired steel fire escape. Their determination shines through as they showcase their skills atop this towering structure. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this monochrome image offers us a glimpse into history - not just in terms of firefighting technology but also fashion trends prevalent during that time period. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in times of crisis while reminding us how far we have come since those pioneering days.
