Alcan Rolled Products
Oswego Works
Scriba, New York
The Alcan Volunteer Fire Dept. was established in the 1960's. Today it is the Novelis Fire Dept. as the plant was spun off by Alcan in 2004. It remains Company No.1 in Oswego County and operates an engine, squad and 100 ft. tower ladder. In my days the apparatus fleet was larger.
Truck 181
1981 Seagrave 100 ft. heavy duty aerial
The story is this rig had been built for a California Fire Dept. and refused for some reason. Alcan needed to replace its 1940's ALF JOX aerial and good price was negotiated with Seagrave.. One of the fly sections was replaced in the 1990's - so much for heavy duty. This rig lasted until at least 2005. I have since seen a picture of a Sutphen Tower and most recently what appears to be a ALF LTI 100 ft. tower that apparently was acquired used from a department in Ontario, Canada - I am thinking Hamilton, Ontario..
