This is my 1984 American LaFrance Fire Engine, 1500/500/25 currently stored on display at the Texas Fire Museum in Dallas, Texas. Originally delivered to the Dallas, Texas Fire Department as Engine 17 on September 4, 1984 and in service until August 14, 2001 when it was sold to the Detroit, Texas Volunteer Fire Department. I purchased it from Detroit VFD on March 23, 2023 and brought it to TFM. It has been in the 2023 and 2024 Dallas Christmas Parades, displayed at the 2024 International Association of Fire Chiefs meeting in Dallas, the Dallas Lakewood Fourth of July Parade as well as other parades and displays. It is also associated with the Dallas Firefighter’s Museum and it’s programs.
