| Description: | GAZETTE “London’s Smartest - and that’s saying something! Dockhead wins motor escape championship - doing all you see in 1 min. 18 secs!” London. Men of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) perform in their annual competition. A fire engine arrives in a yard. The ladder is dropped from the back and, while rolling, firemen extend it. Fire fighters climb up the ladder against the side of a fire tower. Other fire officers attach a hose to a hydrant and use the water to knock over a target. They then rush across and climb up the ladder. Firemen climb down carrying dummies. Other dummies are lowered by lines from the fire tower. | |
