A real relic from Connellsville, does anyone know if CFD had a ladder between this ALF and the 62 Mack?
Unknown, Jenkins collection

No there wasn't Doc. That ALF was the second motorized fire apparatus that Connellsville had, and also the very first ladder truck. It was ordered in June of 1916 and delivered in August of the same year at a cost of $6,200. This truck was delivered with 50, 40, and 32 foot extension ladders. It also carried 30 foot ladders on each side. This truck was sold to a local antique collector in 1962 to make room for the 1962 Mack C-Model quint. The 1916 had a total of 418 miles on it when it was sold. The 1962 aerial cost $42,000.
