For TBT-This was Orland FPD’s Engine 6023, a 1980’s ALF Century(unknown specs).   This photo shows the then factory added  4 door enclosure that was popular at the time.  Enjoy and comment.

This from Wayne Stuart for #TBT:

The Gary Fire Department operated two 1942 American La France type 600 Series pumpers. This one was assigned originally to Engine Company 3 and in 1959 to Engine Company 9 upon opening of Station 9. It was replaced by a 1964 Maxim. It carried ALF Serial # L-1675. It had a 750-GPM pump and a 100-gallon water tank.
