LCC-LFB Knightsbridge fire station appliance room

Opened on 27 June 1907, Knightsbridge fire station was located at 16 Basil Street. Horses would remain in use in the London Fire Brigade until 1921, although motorised fire engines were being introduced into the service in increasing numbers. Seen here is the engine room with horse drawn engines and steamer pump ready for duty. Note the flue in the centre, to take the smoke away when the steamer's boiler is first lit in the engine room
