MFB fire float and tug on the River Thames
A Metropolitan Fire Brigade fire float and tug on the River Thames. These composite craft were introduced in 1877 and used until 1900 when they were replaced by fireboats. The fire float was a fire pump mounted in a barge that could supply water to the land via hoses or direct water onto a blaze from jets mounted on the barge. The tug transported the fire float to the scene of the fire
