Here is another unusual Virginia truck from the Rouss Fire Company in Winchester, Virginia. Today Rouss is all ladder trucks and painted green and white. It did not use to be that way.....Rouss has run engine companies and specialty units. This American LaFrance was a foam unit.
The information I have on this ALF is that the National Airport FD obtained this ALF and painted it in the bicentennial colors in 1976. It was called the "Spirit". It was purchased from a farmer.
Rouss had it for 4-5 years and used it as a foam unit - you can see the foam cans in the photograph.
It went to Castleton, Virginia, then to a private collector, and eventually (as I have been told) to a museum in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Does anyone have additional information on this unique ALF?
