American LaFrance Metropolitan Rescue per request - Juice - 11-18-2015

Kris requested photos of the ALF Metropolitan Rescue. While I'm personally a big fan of the older version Metropolitan, the newer version wasn't bad either. Here is a photo courtesy of Frank Wegloski/indianafiretrucks.com. I thought Frank was on here, I know Chris Allen is. While I occasionally shoot and contribute photos to ift.com, there is no way I can see myself going to East Chicago anytime soon, so with that, I'll share a friend's photo.

Kris, there are a bunch out there, unfortunately I've never shot any of them personally. One of my favorites has to be Sailisbury, MD. Rescue 16.

 

Trav!

FYI  Parker Dist. Rescue 1 is now Rescue 2.  The Peterbuilt that was Rescue 2 is now Rescue 1. I have no idea why they switched them around.

Thanks for the great start guys, that Sailisbury, MD unit is very nice looking.

 

I always liked the looks of the Haddam Vol Fire Co. 2004 Metropolitan Heavy Rescue I think from CT.

I don;t have a pic or I would post it, for all my travels while selling units I have very few photos of ALF

rigs, especially Metropolitian's.
