American LaFrance Apparatus

[GA_Dave]

Correct; this statement covers it all. We've seen every light possible on the back of a fire truck...Federal Juniors, #16s, BR-2s, #14s, Unity and Dietz sealed beams, Dietz (shown here on this ALF) and DoRay lollipops, Whelen Rota-Beams, etc., and so forth. Until the 1991 version of NFPA 1901 came out, only one red light (forward facing) was required on an apparatus!

The VFD I ran with in WNY from 1982-1986 ran two pumpers (1959 and 1973) that had NO upper rear warning lights. I tried to persuade them to add lights to both for the entire time I was there, but it was no use. The '73 served that way until its retirement in 2006. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
