Engine 54 F87
1976 American La France 1000/500
At least from a recent history perspective, this piece of apparatus might be one of the better kept secrets of the MFD. It is still quartered at the 54's, in great shape, lettered for Engine 54. Engine 54 is currently assigned a Pierce telesquirt as their engine, and I believe this engine is technically considered the second piece of Engine 54, although it is not used. I believe this rig is also considered by some to be Hose Tender 3, however I really don't think it is used as a hose tender either. Out of all the American La France engines Memphis had, this is really the only one left still mostly equipped as a pumper.
