This engine was the last American LaFrance made in Elmira. The reel was eliminted and the engine was refurbished by New Lexington. Monroeville #1 sold this engine to Munhall Borough and it is still in service there.

Wow so cool, great job. Next time I am in town I will swing by RFD to see it. Where are they storing it? I grew up around Engine 7 in Arlington Texas it was a 1983 Century ALF it was solid red and later repainted in the Dallas color of white over red with white wheels. What a classic rig, I can remeber running out the front door of my house when I would hear that Detorit comming or the Federal Q Siren. They also had a classic open top Pierce Oskgosh Snorkle 75ft at 7's former Snk6 and later a great classic Seagrave 100ft stick at 7's former Trk8 both were real trucks no water needed.



Stay Safe, Rick

The Parade/Funeral Coach is being stored inside at the training center for now-maybe at one of the stations in the future.

Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but I see two early-mid 40's ALF's (like my '44) and two JOX aerials in this picture.



Anyone else agree?

The pumpers appear to be Type 600's with either GMC or International cabs. I'm not able to read the lettering on the front of the closest JOX, can you on the original pic?
