Sorry for delay responding...Our Fire Fighter/Paramedics think it is a bit awkward but like it overall once you get accustom to it. . . . . Since these were purchased and placed in service future Squad units have been assigned new Chevrolet Suburban[color="#0000FF"][/color].

Not sure about that. Possibly. I was looking at some of Duane Troxel's old photos to try and see but can't tell for sure. Ladder 55 was the only Mack L model that I saw of all the Ladder companies though.

Is this the one that was purchased from Alief(Community) V.F.D. ?

[Ladder 68]

Good stuff Bob...sorry the trip didn't work out this year. But the offer stands any time you make it this way.



I do believe that the Ford C pumper at E65 was from Community. It was bought when Station #65 was essentially a boat house using a small temp building. The same building, I was told, was later used for the original Station #72.



And the '79 ALF Century 50' Tele-Squrts were awesome. E68 was refurbed in-house by the shift personnel and lasted until '94 because the crews wanted to keep it. Was a fire fighting son of a gun.
