I almost fell out of the chair when I found this shot on 1949ALF's web page. (Used with permission) This is a shot by Dick Adelman of Atlanta's Ladder #23. It was a 1956 ALF 700 Series TDA. I'll post job number and delivery date later. I'm trying to get some help in identifying the driver and tillerman. This shot was taken on the alley known as Garreaux Street, across from Station #23. My guess is that they could not get a shot of this rig sitting in front of the station because the ramp is so short. So, they pulled it across the street for the shot.



Somewhere in my boxes of slides I have at least one Kodachrome of Ladder 23 in action at an apartment fire on Peachtree Street, circa 1973-74. Gotta get them scanned one of these days and post same.
