Sorry about the quality of Eng. 103. I was a beginner at photography back then. Station 5 had this 1973 WLF, 1000/500.

The other truck was this 1983 ALF/Snorkel, 85 ft/1750/300. I don't know how they ran these, which one was first out or if one was a reserve or what. Both were housed at Central Station.

Rescue 1 was this 1988 Ford/? body. Anyone know who the body is built by?
