You are absolutely right. How could I have missed it when it was 10 minutes from my house and I photographed it at many fires in the 1970's? Here is a picture of it, a 1949 Bickle Seagrave 100 ft., as the reserve ladder in 1978. It had a diesel engine installed in the tractor some time ago and is now owned by the Montreal Auxiliary Firemen. Here is the revised list of 18.
