Fire Engines Photos

Rob, try Charlie Easter at: [email protected] He and Darryl from the Western Australia Fire Brigades Historical Fire Engine workshops are currently rebuilding the motor of an identical ladder truck which you would have seen on this sight. I'll let Charlie know you'll be in touch.

I think I can make out "Atlanta, Ga" (Georgia)on the aerial ladder - how would she have wound up in The Netherlands ?

This rig was owned for a while by Red Baron Antiques in Atlanta. Before that it was in service as Ladder 169 in Allegany, NY

The above apparatus is a 1938 American LaFrance 565-JOX, Registration Number L-1056, shipped to Olean, NY on December 12, 1938. It was powered by an American LaFrance Model "J" V-12 gasoline engine, rated at 190 horsepower. It was retired in 1972. From 1972-1976, it served with the Main-Transit FD in Amherst, NY (Buffalo area), then was sold to Allegany, NY (near Olean) where it served for many more years. It was then purchased by Red Baron Antiques in Atlanta, GA for use in advertising. It was the fourth JO/JOX built. I have a photo of it when it was in better condition at Red Baron. Main-Transit has photos of it when it was in service there.

At the odd chance of this still being around, & the right folks in the thread, I just stumbled across a photo of her when she was in service in Allegany, NY.
