The London Fire Brigade (LFB) is the statutory fire and rescue service for London.
The LFB was formed by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade Act of 1865 under the leadership of superintendent Eyre Massey Shaw. Today, the LFB is the largest of the fire services in the United Kingdom and the fourth-largest in the world (after the Tokyo Fire Department, New York City Fire Department and Paris Fire Brigade (London Underground)) with nearly 7,000 staff, including 5,800 operational firefighters based at 102 fire stations. In August 2010, the London Ambulance Service's 2008-2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was responding with lights and sirens with the London Fire Brigade's 2006-2007 Mercedes-Benz Atego in Euston together, but twice. It was seen on YouTube. The Premier Inn in Euston was seen once.
