History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

[quote name='Shoe' post='191719' date='Feb 25 2008, 10:15 ']It appears that Atlanta took delivery of an ALF in June of 1956. I'm thinking that it would have been a 700 series but, the numbers below don't make sense to me. Could it have been the 900 Series at 14's?





Atlanta GA 1956 7-75-TKO N-110 6417 C-922 6/28/1956 20110



Does anyone know, or have a picture of this?[/quote]





I don't have a photo of it, but I believe there may be photos of it in one of the Atlanta Fire Department Yearbooks. It was a 1956 ALF 700 series 75-footer, Serial #N-110 and was assigned to Truck 11 and later to Truck 23. I can check at the Fire Museum here tomorrow. We have two old AFD photo yearbooks and I'll check to see if there is a photo of it in one of those that I can scan. The books have photos of every station, the firefighters assigned there, and usually a photo of the apparatus in front of the station.
