ALF - Century Series

[Engine33Truck]

If you are referring to the Morgantown rescue, it was built from a Century 100' rearmount.

I wasn't aware that they ever had a 100ft ALF Century.

I have a request for Dave or Steve or whoever has pictures of these.  I'm looking for the ALF's with serial numbers of 8110 and 8111.  I have reason to believe that Keyser's Engine 33-15 (#8109) and Tygart Valley's "Ol Blue" (#8112) are twins-or at least sisters.

I don't have any info on 8110, but 8111 is a 1984 Century 1500/750 that runs as Engine 36 in Millville, NJ.  Take a look:

Wish I had a number for Engine 37......

This is a unusual rebuild of a former ladder; 1978 ALF Century 100' Water Chief(CE-14-5755) was damaged at a training drill in 1997, it was converted into a heavy rescue. The work was largely done by MFD members.
