Nice shots here (and on Flickr site) Aaron! Question: I have seen many "complaints" about the ALF pumpers, but the ALF tillers seemed to have held up well, no?

The 2003 and 2004 LaFrance engines have had a lot of problems, mainly cracked frames. With the latest delivery of KME pumpers, ALF engines of this vintage are being reassigned from busier companies to slower ones in the hope the department will get a few more years out of them. The ALF tiller have held up well. Some are beginning to show their age but they're still on the road.
