I believe that this truck went to Newbury, MA and was retired less than two years ago.

Taylor should be able to get some pics of this unit was in service , I want to say that Henrico bought 5 or 6 of these engines at one time. and they ran the dog crap out these engines in the late eighties and early nineties

Just a FYI: That rig is a Ladder Chief. The Water Chief had a pre-piped waterway.

    Does anyone recall seeing this truck on the fire apparatus display circuit during 1980?? This truck was a prototype displayed by American LaFrance and CDN Research and Developement. It was a twin agent unit built on an English Reynolds Boughton BR 44 chassis.

This is a pretty interesting chassis. It is at its heart a Dodge 50-series van chassis. Reynolds Boughton developed the 4x4 version of this to win a military contract, there was a also a Renault version of this after Chrysler pulled out of Europe and sold their lines to Peugeot. There were quite a few of these made into fire trucks, with many going to the middle east.
