Photos from March 15, 2007
Thanks to personnel at L.R. Fleet Services for allowing these photos. The history of the L.R.F.D. in these photos is incredible!
With the arrival of six new Pierce Contender pumpers, a unique opportunity for photos was present. Many of the former
'first line ' pumpers of the L.R.F.D. were in process of being equipped as reserves, while the former reserve pumpers were
in the process of being made ready for retirement. The last Mack pumper is removed from regular service in the second
and third photos, as Engine 20 receives a later model reserve, until their next regular apparatus is ready for service. With the
exception of the 1976 Mack ladder truck, all Mack fire apparatus in these photos will be decommissioned in the near future.
