This & That from Here & There
Quote:Here is something you don't see every day.  As popular as this chassis was in its day, American LaFrance rarely used it.  There were maybe a half dozen of them.  Unfortunately, it could not be moved due to an issue with the brakes.  An inside shot beats no shot!

Here is the real reason we came to Bannertown.  Micah discovered this rare example a while back and this was the first chance we got to get up here to shoot it.  We found out, from our conversation with the Firefighters, that there were 12 pumpers built by this company in 1963-1964, six on Ford chassis and six on GM chassis.  This is the third Ford we have found, so far.

   After this, Micah drove Jon and I back to Lewisville where our cars were parked.  We made it just a few minutes later than our planned time of 5 PM.  Jon had to get back to Durham by 7 and I had a 6-hour drive back home.  I made one more stop along the way.

   I returned last night from a trip to western New York that began on July 25th.  The majority of the time was spent visiting family and friends, but I did manage to shoot some apparatus as well.  I met up with my friend Ron Arnow for a day of shooting apparatus in and around Buffalo.  I spent parts of two days shooting in Erie County, PA.  I also attempted to shoot the parade of the Southwestern Volunteer Firemen's Convention in Bolivar, NY.  It was not meant to be....
