Frank and others,



Info i got from the LCFA Convention book from 1964 states this TDA is a 1928 ? ALF 75' 2 section wood ladder.



{ I question marked the year because the book only states " the motorization phase of the CFD was completed with the addition of the present ALF ladder which was housed on Thanksgiving Day 1928. At a cost of $15,750.}
