LCC-LFB Vauxhall fire station, Lambeth SE1
Vauxhall fire station was built by the London County Council in the last year of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, before the name was changed to the London Fire Brigade. The station was located on the Albert Embankment. It was considered by some to be an unlucky fire station. Shortly after opening, a fireman, his wife and child were gassed to death in their flat above the station. In 1918 four firemen from Vauxhall were killed at a fire on the Albert Embankment which took seven firemens lives. The station was closed in 1937 with the opening of the new Fire Brigade headquarters, also built on the Albert Embankment. The station was demolished in the early 1970s
