Somerset was an exclusive American LaFrance fire company when it came to engines. In 1986, it was brought up to buy a new engine from ALF. However, that was when the Elmira facility was closed and all operations moved to Bluefield VA. After being told that by ALF, Somerset decided to purchase a Pierce Arrow. Since that time, Somerset has purchased all Pierces. They received their second or third Quantum recently.
