This truck is now gone. October 1st of last year, Palm Beach County took over fire service in Lake Worth and the city disposed of this rig.

Was it sold? It should have lasted about 20 years. I am guessing this is a late 1980's vintage.

Another thing, the Key West FL LTI was a very large double size print. My old computer (editing program) had a panoramic feature that lets you connect photos. This was scanned in two parts and reconnected.

My old computer is done, I purchased a new one with Windows 7. Guess what? The editing program will not work. I have to use a lower quality program now. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/computer.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Computer' />

Last I saw of it, it was sitting at the city barn but was to be sold off. I have no idea where it might have gone. It was a 1986 LTI 1500/150/100' Platform as Ladder 91. It was rarely ever used and hadn't been staffed in several years. Here's a wrong side photo of it I got not too long before the County took over.
