LCC-LFB Early motorised fire engine

This machine was one of the early self-propelled petrol motor fire engines used by the LFB. It was made by Merryweather and Sons Limited, who had built the very first motor fire engine some eight years previously for the Rothschild estate in France. The power unit was used for both propulsion and pumping. The tank below the driver's seat is a sixty gallon soda-acid first-aid extinguisher
