All equipment still works. Featured in the book "First to the Flames - A History of Fire Chief Vehicles", by Edward L. Peterson (1999 by Krause Publications).



Now resides in Chesterfield, VA. It is Ex-Carmel (NC) VFD. It was cloned in 1991 by Steve Cloutier the fire chief in Carmel at that time. Fully equipped with Scott cub air-pak, full turnout gear circa 1963 (3/4 boots, fireball gloves, MSA helmet), Civil Defense Geiger counter, explosion meter, Big Beam flashlight and road flasher, Motorola high-band mobile radio and hand held, Federal mechanical siren under the hood, first aid kit and resuscitator, Federal Beacon Ray (4 bulb-quarter turn) and alternating flashers in the headlights and on rear deck.

This is how she looked when I purchased her from the Callicoon, NY Fire Dept. in Oct '01.

She delivered new to Albertson L.I.N.Y. in Apr '62 where she served 30 years.

I know it's been posted many times before, but here are some more pictures of my old gray American LaFrance 700. I drove it right out of their Station # 3 in the summer of 1977, and it's been part of our family ever since. Except for the Roto-Ray and the bell, all of the equipment is like it was when it left Elmira, New York in 1947. American LaFrance designated this as a 775-PGC or "Invader." Reg. No. L-3171. It has a 492 cubic inch Auburn-Lycoming Model "G" V-12 engine, and a two-stage American LaFrance 750 GPM pump. I believe the booster tank carries 160 gallons. And it has a huge hosebed!
