If that is the year that you have for it then that answers my question for what year the ALF was for my company any member that really knew the year has passed away or doesn't live in town anymore.
Just wish I can find out who has it and where it is now to try to get them to come around with it. More so in two years when we get the new tower. We know who has our old Snorkel and to try and get that the 4 trucks in a pic together it would have been nice to know if the older stuff is around somewhere but most likely they have been scrapped.

Why did Secaucus get out of the engine company business and start running a truck company? Just Curious... Was there another truck company in town, or were there other circumstances....

We have 4 engines plus spare engine. My company had started out as a hose, hook, and ladder company then went the chemical route when the chemical engines where the in thing I guess at the time then went to be a engine/hose company then in 1973 they got the snorkel and right now we have a scope that will be replaced with midmount ladder tower. The company never bothered to change its name until about 2 months ago to reflect the type of rig and what the company does. There is another ladder company in the back road area of town. The reason I think that they went with having to aerials was because of the wherhouse building boom from hartz mountain and that increased the fire load. Now we are having a boom of multi unit med to high end apartments be built. The one place has 3 out of 7 building almost done. Just have a 110 unit I think almost done and there is word of 4 building totaling 500 units in the works.
