Welcome to the group. Photos can be tricky to post, so let me know if you need an assist.

So how can I resize photos on a mac in order to post on here?

Uh, oh. I may have spoken too soon...


I'm not sure exactly how to do it on a Mac, but all photos need to be <200k in size. I generally use 1024x768 resolution at 72dpi. That creates a decent sized photo for viewing, but also keeps the file size low. I use Paint.net to edit and resize. It's free and may even have a Mac version. The most important thing is to keep the file size down.

They are looking to place it in service as a spare.

they actually pulled it out of the junkyard to put it in service as a spare?

Vegas Ladder 3 was purchased via auction from what ive heard. The 71 Lafrance was Kern County's first aerial device and was purchased for restoration as a museum piece.

It wasn't in a junkyard, it was purchased directly from Las Vegas via GovDeals.

Kern has at least two tillers in front line service now. Must be planning to continue with them. This looks like a pretty good looking rig to use as a spare. I bet it doesn't have any rust due to road salt!!
