Last one for now, another Ward La France Ambassador. This is a 1974 Ward La France/Young still going with the Village of Lancaster, NY fire department(designated engine 1.). This is the last of the triplets still in service, I'm sure you all know where one of them went to <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />. Just to correct myself, the Ward La France from Silver Creek is a 1973, not a 1974.

Great pics guys - as Roscoe P. Coltrain (of Dukes of Hazard fame) would say, "I love it, I love it, I love it!"
