Quote:Ok, in order to correct the distorted photos that I posted earlier, I re-scanned them. I'll post them below. But first, I found this one and re-scanned it too. It wasn't posted earlier. It is a former Westbrook Fire Protection, Dundalk, MD 1964 Ward LaFrance Pumper known as Engine 642. I don't know the other specifics.
This is 85-08, a 1964 Mark I 1000/300 delivered to Kenmore, NY. When retired by Kenmore, it was sold to a collector in the Baltimore area named Westbrook.

[quote name='GA_Dave' post='7519' date='Jul 11 2006, 17:41 ']Unlike the rest of the rigs posted so far, this one is a Model 85. Note the lack of an engine compartment behind the cab. The engine was located between the driver and officer seats. This is #85-47, delivered on 5-8-73. My list also shows two Model 80's delivered to Freeport. #80-640 was delivered on 8-16-72, #80-713 was delivered on 4/27/73. I have no info on either of these except that I know Freeport had a Model 80 with a Hi-Ranger platform. Anyone know more?[/quote]
The only other WLFs of this style that Freeport had were the Hi-Ranger and a pumper for Hose 4, so it would be these two rigs. I have them both as 1972 models. Here is the Hi-Ranger....

And here is Hose 4's former pumper.

[quote name='Jupiter27Truck' post='7509' date='Jul 11 2006, 17:21 ']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.[/quote]
It was replaced by a 1998 Spartan/RD Murray, and for quite some time sat outside behind Hose 5's firehouse.

Thanks, George. Now all I have to do is figure out which one is which!
Ward LaFrance Ultravision - Guest - 07-11-2006
Mobile AL T-24
Ward LaFrance Ultravision - Guest - 07-11-2006
Mobile AL E-9
Ward LaFrance Ultravision - Guest - 07-11-2006
Sadly, both of these plus T-5 (the other WLF Hi-Ranger) are long gone
T-24 & T-5 were 75' 250/150 I believe. E-9 was 1000/500.

Dave,
I believe you know how I feel about this topic <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> . I'm sure you knew that I just had to thank you for starting this thread. But now I'm wondering if my question about the P85 spark the idea for the thread?Turk_WLF (on Cloud 9) <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Does anyone have any WLF's from California (LAFD LACo) ???
Ward LaFrance Ultravision - Guest - 07-11-2006
Well yes I do but they're not the photos that I took myself but what I have run across the years of collecting. I'll post some when I get caught up.
