The 1971 American LaFrance was an emergency purchase. This engine was bought due to the fact that the city lost an engine at the Beacon Warehouse fire. This engine was at American LaFrance on Neville Island and the city bought it. It was the first diesel powered engine that the city had.[/quote]

The American LaFrance looks quite simular to a San Francisco Engine of that era.
