Not really. This project has been on the back burner for some time, just finally got to it.

Bergen County (NJ) Fire Academy, Engine 1. Sorry, no info on the truck, I assume it was donated to the academy by a town in Bergen County.

This is the only pic I have of this truck, Here's a WLF from the U-Crest fire company, Cheektowaga, NY. Pic courtesey of Andy Pagano.
This Ward La France belonged to the Crittenden fire company, Alden, NY. This rig use to be off Broadway in Darien, NY. No idea where it is today.
The Bergen County Fire Academy engine was originally Little Ferry NJ. it was lime before the academy had the good sense to paint it a decent color. I never shot it in LF, even though they border us! now that they finally put the County seal on the door I can go up there and do it there.

Dave,
Since you started this "database", I'm wondering how would you suggest that we catalog the info/photo n the Photo/Pics. Using Dunkirk's Engine 2 as the example... I know generally speaking it's (City,State, ID, Year,Make,Model, Pump Size,Tank Size Etc) Dunkirk, NY E2 1975 WLF Ambassador 1000-500 (Refurbed by RD Murray, 1000-750) (#80-1072) But I'm wondering like the truck's status (Retired, Reserve, 2nd-3rd Dept)?
In 1976, L A City received a total of 22 type 80 pumpers. They were equipped with 1500 gpm-pumps and 500 gallon-tanks. The cab-roofs were added in 1990. Juergen Kiefer photo
WLF # 80-1273 to 80-1283 80-1322 to 80-1331 80-1452
Here is 1 of the la city wards in 2005 sitting behind station 88 in sherman oaks. It appeared to be getting ready for auction.
I don't know how many of these they got? 1973 Ward LaFrance 1250/500 Eng-35 San Francisco,Ca
