Ladder 23 was possibly a unique rig. I think it was the only WLF snorkel that Houston had. It was a 1967 WLF- Hi-Ranger, 75 ft low profile cab. This snorkel started out running out of Station 1 as Unit 501, later was moved to 23's, where I photographed it in July 1982.

[quote name='biotelbob' post='282984' date='Feb 19 2009, 00:42 ']Dallas, Texas was a big WLF customer from the 60's into the 70's. Here is Eng. 2, a 1964 WLF, 750-500. All the Engines and trucks had the old B&M sirens on them while the MICU's had Federal electronic sirens and an occassiol addn'l B&M siren as well. The electronic sirens started to appear on the Eng/Trucks in the late 70's.[/quote]
Love the air pack holders and B&M's what a cool sound. Leawood Kansas has one on Truck 2 it came off their 1974 ALF.
