I believe that the K.F.D. still owns this pumper and uses the old ALF as a parade piece! Does anyone have a recent photo of the rig to post?

Here you go, I shot this while I was bored one day after washing the rigs in January 2010.  Not this one of course, no one touches it but the select few who take care of her.  We call her Ol Lil

What year is the oldet surviving American LaFrance and who originally owned it?

That's easy for motorized.  Lennox MA has ALF Serial number 1, a 2 tank chemical which they have owned since new.

                                       This 1931 American LaFrance, Reg. No. 7412, once served the
                                       Vigilant Engine Co. of East Rockaway, L.I., N.Y.  It was a Model
                                       310 RC, equipped with chain drive and a rotatory gear pump.
                                         The company was able to brag that it was the first ALF on
                                       Long Island with the new 12 cylinder engine.
