Engine 45-5 in Clayton/Delaware is a 1980 model with 1500 gpm-pump and 1000 gallon-tank. It was rehabbed in 1991. I don't know if its true, but I was told, that this is the last WLF custom-pumper built. Juergen Kiefer photo

Anybody out here have a pic of the WLF Ultravison pumper that Quincy, MA had? It was lettered for "Engine B" Yes, that's a B, not an 8. Don't know why they did that though. Saw that rig on regular runs through my neighborhood when I was a young lad living in Quincy.

Sorry about the photo distortion Dave. I'd scanned thousands of my old photos before I figured out the real secret to reducing them. I'll try to re-scan any that I post for you before I send them. I'll try to get the LaFrances re-scanned as well. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Sad' /> Mark

This rig must no longer be in service. Last week I found it sitting in a yard with a few other engines and random trucks in Bay Shore, LI. It was mostly intact and still had all of its markings. I'm hoping to get a chance to get some pics of the rigs soon.
