Info on this rig. It is still around - parked in a warehouse in the city.
1970 American LaFrance, 1000 Series, canopy cab, quint, 750/300, 85 ft steel mid-mount ladder, cost $68,000. This was first housed at the West End Company, but was moved to the Washington Hose Company during the 1987 consolidation move. It was originally delivered with a Continental 6cyl. gas motor, 185 HP, and a 5-speed manual transmission. It was refurbed in 1986 which included converting to a Detroit 6V71 diesel and automatic, new front & rear axles, and the pump was rebuilt. Sold to West Brandywine Twp. in late 2002. Placed back into service in 08/04 since the 1976 & 2003 ALF ladders were both OOS. Placed back into service again on 11/7/06 when the 1976 & 2003 ALF ladders were both OOS. Needed inspection first.
