Many, many great photos on this thread from some of the best fire apparatus photographers in the business. Philadelphia always did have a very interesting mix of apparatus, some of the older shots are really fascinating. A quick question . . . Philly probably used more of the articulating-boom Squrts than any other department (up here in Syracuse we always favored theTeleSqurt). Is that device (the articulating one) still available from AmericanLaFrance/Snokel/LTI/ whatever they call themselves now? Looks like Philadelphia got their last ones about 1998, and none since. Is that correct?

Chief, my understanding is ALF will only sell a Squrt if it is mounted on one of their chassis. That's why the PFD is purchasing snozzles now. It will be interesting to see how they work out. You are correct, the last squrts were purchased in 1998 when the four 3-D/ALF units were delivered.
