Gary Fire Department history

This from Wayne Stuart:

The Gary Fire Department operated four 1970 American La France 900 Series engines. They were assigned to Engine Companies 1,2,3&4. They had 1500 GPM pumps and 300 Gallon tanks. Engine Co. No.4 was assigned this apparatus. It carried ALF Serial # 12-1-2321. It had seen a lot of use when this photo was taken in the early 80’s.

  One can certainly tell that this old beauty was well worn even when it wasn’t all that old at the time.

  I think one of those became a ladder truck in Griffith after using parts off an old Whiting Maxim aerial in the mid 80s.
