LCC-LFB A motorised Dennis pump escape
The adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB led to a reduction in the number of stations required. A report produced in the 1920s recommended the closure of some 15 fire stations. The pump escape, seen here at the Southwark Headquarters, is fitted with pneumatic tyres which also provided for safer and faster travel times when responding to emergencies
