LCC-LFB Fireman in his fire kit with new cork helmet

A London fireman in his fire kit, including the new style compressed cork helmet with its LFB crest, which replaced the traditional brass helmets used since the days of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The change was necessary because of the risk of electrocution with the brass helmet and the greater strength, protection and lightness offered by the new helmet
