Truck 8 at Wytheville is another ALF and I was told it was one of the later units to be produced at American LaFrance's old Bluefield plant, not to far from Wytheville. Truck 8 serves dual roles - engine and ladder for the FD.
Wytheville, VA
Wythe County
Truck 8
1991 ALF Century
1500/500
75'TS
serial # - 2101 (does that sound right for a ALF serial number?)
this is actually a kind of rare rig. It was built during the "second" incarnation of ALF, from 1986-1994, when they were building the Century 2000's. They must have wanted a matching cab to their pumper, so they got it.(either that or it was wrecked and rebuilt) there are only a few "C2000's" with Century cabs out there, Clifton, NJ has one as does West Mead, PA, and maybe one in Connecticut. those are the only ones I know about.
