Fire Engines Photos

At least something got painted red. Nice wheel on the drive axle.

Whether it be painted red, grey, blue, red over white, or black over red, or white
over yellow, the American Lafrance'Century Series'apparatus from the 1970/80s
were in my eyes a brilliant looking typical American fire engine.

What would you call just the front without the Trailor attached?

I dont think you would call it anything JT....I doubt if it was designed to be 'detached'

The "front" is the tractor. I don't think I've seen one detached from the trailer.

I'll take that back. In one of the magazines I receive by the mail, I have seen photos of 2 tractors that were detached from their trailers. I don't have the photos, but I'll describe them.

The first was rehabbed and an equipment trailer was attached for USAR, by a county fire department.

The second had its frame stretched, and had a 2000gpm (7600lpm @ 10bar) single stage pump mounted behind the cab. 2 1"-200' (25mm-61m) booster reels were mounted on top of the pump. It now tows an 8000gal (30,400l) water tank trailer behind it. It is used by a forest fire private contractor out in California, USA.

Thanks for the Info. My dad has the tractor. No modifications made just totally redone with new interior, paint and chrome.
