This from Matt Schumann as an addition to the posting of the Lemont FPD:
For an historical perspective – here is a picture of the Lemont ALF pumper after the Pierce Refurb and shortly before it being sold by the department. The guys loved this rig even in its last days where it was not able to pump well.
