Hi Jeff:
The rig you are referring to was once an American La France 75' Water
Chief. The Encinitas Fire Department operated it as a truck company
until the aerial ladder was no longer able to be certified. The aerial
ladder was removed in 1994 and it was converted into an engine by KME in
Rialto. We operated it as a reserve engine until it was replaced.
Attached are some pictures of it when it was in service as our aerial
device.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Cool! Did he send along any good pictures of it? I'm still curious about what it looked like as a Water Chief.
Thanks for taking the time to write them about it. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
