No, we really had no idea that it was once a Water Chief. We've only known it since it came back to American LaFrance of Los Angeles in Fontana about two years ago now. Prior to that, I had never even seen the truck in service. I certainly would've never thought it had a life as something else other than just an engine.
One of these days, we'll buy a "normal" truck! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
P.S. - If anyone has pictures of it in its Water Chief form, I'd LOVE to see them.[/quote]
I took the liberty of sending an e-mail to the Encinitas FD in an effort to elicit more info on your rig. I asked them who did the conversion, and asked if they happened to have a pic of it when it still had the aerial. I will post the reply here for you.
