The local Crimson dealer was the Old ALF dealer for the department.This was a ALF TDA that was in a MVC with SQURT 43 back in March of 09. ([url="http://phillyfirenews.com/content/firewire/detail/2569/"]L9/sq43 mvc[/url]) From what I heard they were one of only a couple of Manufacturers who would sell them only a tractor since the trailer only had body damage. And since a lot of FD's bought LTI trailors with Spartan/Crimson Cabs I guess they thought this was the best way to do it. But money was also an issue as the city is "broke" It goes in service today or tomorrow.

I do remember when those 2 crashed into each other, the squirt is still sitting in the back corner. The "new" Ladder 9 looked pretty good overall. It also looked wrecker friendly, with 2 glad hands under the bumper, and nice strong fork holes directly behind the front bumper.
