This from Matt Schumann as an addition to the posting of the Lemont FPD:
For an historical perspective – here is a picture of the Lemont ALF pumper after the Pierce Refurb and shortly before it being sold by the department. The guys loved this rig even in its last days where it was not able to pump well.
Lemont FPD Engine prior to being decommissioned by the department. It was built in 1983 by American LaFrance on a Century chassis and refurbished in 1995 by Pierce. Matt Schumann photo

The last Time I saw the old lemont Eng 911, it was out sitting in the parking lot at Custer Park, I think they were trying to sell it or trade it in, but it didn’t at all look to be in bad shape, I think some broken glass and that was it!
