LCC-MFB Fire station appliance room
A typical scene in any Metropolitan Fire Brigade fire station appliance room as the escape cart and steamer stand in readiness. Quick release and connection harnesses were fitted to the teams of horses that were kept ready either in stalls in the appliance room or, as in this case, in the adjacent stables. Teams of horses were maintained at the station and were rotated so that they were not kept in their harness for too long
