  Wayne,

  Is the chief full time?

  They have three full timers through Metro, and a roster of part timers and POCs. They run 2 a day, a full timer and a part timed, jumping as necessary between engine and ambo.
  They have this engine, another Spartan engine, and 2 ambos.

  That Alf looks pretty good for its age, classic rig. Were They still running that front line? Is this department full-time or volunteer?

  The LaFrance looks like it would be a nice piece to own….

  How old is the American LaFrance? It has to be around 40 years old! Love the changing of the guard photo as well!

  Looks like the front sits a little lower than most Spartans. Is it just the picture?

  The black rims don’t look good on a white over red and no other black rig.

  I always loved the changing of the guard type photos.
