Only info that I have on this is Madrid, Spain written on the back. MY WLF database shows four Ward LaFrance rigs were delivered to Madrid in 1964, bearing serial numbers 80-35 thru 80-38. Any further info would be appreciated. Also, don't recall seeing this particular rig in any previous post, but if it was, my mistake.

The database I have shows the same. I've never even seen a shot of one before this. Wish we could find out the specs and if all four were the same. Thanks for posting. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hail.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Hail' />

[quote name='DAvid' post='25946' date='Aug 23 2006, 09:37 ']As usual, I left out a few things. One of the Phoenix pumpers went to the Verde Valley FD near Cottonwood, Az, and I also think Peoria, Az had 1-3 as well with 1 finding itself to the El Mirage, Az FD. I don't know the exact number of them and all are out of service disposed of.

I know this was originally posted by David three years ago, but I was reading this thread the other day, saw the posting and went back to my archives. The only details are that it is Peoria, Arizona Engine 3, listed as a 1979 Ward LaFrance Ambassador. No pump or tank size given. Sorry I don't have more details, but I'll try to find out.
