[quote name='Truckman' post='117465' date='Jun 9 2007, 10:53 ']Its odd to see the American LaFrance name plate not centered and in another position on the nose. It appears that it may have once been under thr "515" numbers.[/quote]
That's actually where the unit number plate goes, which is why the logo is offset. This was during a major brushfire, and the reserve rig was pressed into service. Usually, if this unit was going to be used for awhile as say E15, they would attach the 15 plate to the nose, and there's a place for one on the side near the jumpseats as well.
Looking closely at the holes, I think this may have been E163 at one point, which was my friend's station. Have to check the shop #s.
