Nope - both carry 1000 gallons of Protein foam, it mixes from 1% to 6% which is the heaviest application.

[quote name='Truckman' post='56990' date='Dec 7 2006, 15:10 ']Mike, As I have indicated the three 1971 American LaFrance tractor drawn tiller aerials were bought and assigned to Truck 3 - 8 and 9. Later on Truck 7 ended up with on of these. I am thinking that it came from Truck 8 when they got the "Heniz 57" truck, a Continental on an International chassis with a 100 foot American LaFrance aerial.
Truck 2 never operated a American LaFrance Aerial.[/quote]
Truckman and Mike,
Appreciate the serial numbers and assignments of Richmond's 1971 ALF tillers.

This is what this Truck looked like after being in a bad MVA after hitting a flat bed loaded with concrete pipe. Rig had to go back to the factory for repairs.

This is the 1971 American LaFrance 100 foot aerial that was bought for Truck 8 and later went to Truck where it served out its life before being retired.

This was the Truck that replaced to American LaFrance that went to Truck 7. It is an 1982 Continental, on an International chassis, with a 100 foot American LaFrance rebuilt aerial mounted on the rear.

The following year (1988), the Tactical Squad housed at Engine 6 had been assigned this 1977 Mack CF 1000/500 with serial number 1859. My notes show that this was old Engine 14 and had some rehab work done locally in 1987.
