Antioch Fire Department history

From Todd Wolf on Facebook:

Saw Middleburg Heights’ American LaFrance tower. I believe it’s a 2006, they picked it up a few years ago from Antioch Illinois. I have no other info about it. Don’t see many of these around anymore.

  Yea Mike they’re out there. Philadelphia has 5 LTC tillers. As far as around here that I’m not sure.

  Is LTI, now known as LTC producing anything anymore? It seems with all the acquisitions, Spartan’s focus has been on the Smeal aerials. I can’t even remember the last new LTC I saw.

  Yes..

  This was the the Antioch Tower built on a LaFrance back when they let other builders use their line. This particular rig was Lafrance low pro chassis 148 with LTI ladder built by Alexis in 1999. Solid rig and handled like a dream(well as much as a ladder can) and was sold to Middleburg Hts around 2016/2017ish

  Indeed. The last ALF was built 10 years ago already. Too bad the last of them were garbage in terms of quality.
