Ventura County E54. This is a real old photo that I took when I was probably 12, so not the best quality. I really wish I had gotten some really good photos of these before they were repainted and lost the big numbers on the front.

This was going thru a pump test the other day at VSI and took a few shots of it. Paris KY late '70s Century with a 50' prepiped aerial. Not sure when it was refurbished, early '90s I think. I would've tried to ask more but no one there seemed happy to see someone with a camera.

Its odd to see the American LaFrance name plate not centered and in another position on the nose. It appears that it may have once been under thr "515" numbers.

That's actually where the unit number plate goes, which is why the logo is offset. This was during a major brushfire, and the reserve rig was pressed into service. Usually, if this unit was going to be used for awhile as say E15, they would attach the 15 plate to the nose, and there's a place for one on the side near the jumpseats as well.
Looking closely at the holes, I think this may have been E163 at one point, which was my friend's station. Have to check the shop #s.

Attached is the early 80's model ALF that was used at my station until 1995. I have no idea who's pic this is. I believe I got it from another thread several years ago. If anyone knows the photographer or additional info, please post it.

Does anyone have any info/specs on the Atlanta Hartsfield IAP ALF (Bristol) Foam Pumpers ? I don't know but the enclosure between the engine and the Pump Panel looks like it could have contained a seperate pumping engine. Just curious.

I'm pretty sure you are correct. Next time I'm over there, I'll see if I can confirm it.
