Does anyone out there have a photo of West Mifflin PA's 1975 ALF Century 85'

MM Ladder? It was bought used from Foxboro, MA in 1996 and then sold to

Rouses Point, NY around 2000. West Mifflin repainted her to the current

paint scheme and also removed the booster pump. Thanks in advance!



Attached is a current in service photo with the Rouses Point Fire Dept.
