Ward LaFrance Ultravision

[flashover71]

Rochester had some lime green Wards, as well as at least one white over red one (unless one was painted early on).  They also had a white over red rear mount Ward ladder.  They even had a couple of solid white trucks in that same late 60's early 70's time frame. I have not seen a photo of a Ward pumper with the Federal Q in the grill like this one.     

You are right engine 1 and engine 18 had repainted wards just before engine 1 got the american eagle and engine 18 was taken out of service and replaced by midi 5. Rochester also had either 2 or 3 ward rear mount quints i have a photo somewhere of one when it was a reserve as Quint 11. I really cant remember any pumpers that had the federal in the grill either usually it was the front suction that came out the grill unless that was done after being sold.
