Légende

Chandos-street Fire-Engine Station, [London], 1858. '...one of those places scattered throughout the metropolis where, day and night, a portion of the fire brigade is in readiness to start at a moment's notice to any part of London. At these houses the engines are always in readiness, the horses with their equipments are prepared for instant action, and the men may be said to sleep in harness; so that should an alarm be given in the dead of night the engine is in a few minutes on its way to the place of the fire, rattling over the pavement with that peculiar sound which distinguishes the progress of the fire-engine from that of any other vehicle'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
