Check out this rig!! Photos sent by Captain Phil Marchand from Sioux City, IA Fire/Rescue depict the first Troy truck, a 1949 American LaFrance 100’ ladder truck purchased from the Joliet Fire Department that serviced the District from 1980-1987. It now resides with a collector in Oregon. It’s always fun to take a walk down memory lane, thank you for the great photos Capt. Marchand!

Glad to see a classic rig in such decent shape! I am surprised Troy ran an almost 40 year old rig for 7 years!

It’s good to know that such a beautiful classic is going to be in good and loving hands.
