...and here are a few representative engines. Again, we had nearly a dozen of them, all essential similar. A very few had the booster reel mounted on the rear step, most had it up on top as this one does. This is Engine 17, which my records show as a 1949 1000 gpm.

In their last years with the SFD, most of the surviving 700's served as either training engines at the SFD Fire Academy or as spares. This ones is S-3, a 1951 1000 gpm, in service as a spare at Engine Co. 7 sometime in 1974. This is one of the few with the rear-step-mounted booster reel. All of the ALF 700's were gone to auction within a year or two of this photo.

Unfortunately, as too many old fire engines do, the proud SFD 700's were reduced to junk. This is our former Engine 21, a 1948 1000 gpm, sitting in a field north of the city earlier this year.
