He told me that it had a 250 GPM pump and carried 250 gallons of water, 25 gallons of foam and 25 gallons of wet water. He also stated that it was useless as ____ on a bull.

Once the ALF/LTI was in service at Co. 1, this Maxim was sent to Company 4 in Paramus where it was Co. 4's first ladder truck. A Hahn/LTI replaced the Maxim in 1985. The Hahn/LTI is still in service. Co. 1's ALF/LTI was replaced in '03 by a Pierce platform.
