Silver Spring's 1973 ALF 1000 series originally served Alexandria, VA., was sold to SSVFD about 1981, served as Truck 1 thru much of the 1980's, then was sold to Oxford, MD. where it lasted until just a couple years ago.
Another photo of the converted Ford/ALF ladder, this is after retirement and sitting along RT 124 at the Gaithersburg Airpark.I'm fairly certain this was donated to Aspers,PA., but don't believe it actually saw service.
Note the different front bumper and grille in this shot as compared to the previous 2 photos. Around 1990, the rig was involved in some type of head-on accident, but the details are lost to me...

Aspers did own one of the Ford/ALF's. They played with it for a year or so and then got rid of it. It never fit in the station.
