City of Tucson Restorations

- no, not the Tucson Fox Theater
Welcome to the City of Tucson, antique fire engine restoration site.
In 2006, a group of volunteers gathered to restore the city’s 1928 Ahrens Fox. After completion in December of 2009, the group decided to tackle another project. In 1923, the City of Tucson ordered 2 ALF Type75 pumpers and 1 ALF Ladder Truck on the same purchase order. The Ladder Truck and one of the two pumpers have returned to Tucson. While plans were initiated to start the Ladder restoration, we stopped working on the Ladder when the engine became available as the team determined that it was the best option for restoration at this time given the anticipated funding.
The past and current projects are documented here. Click on a rig below (or a link in the right column) to see its story and status in photos.
CURRENT PROJECT!!!!
1923 ALF Type 75 Engine Reg 4189 comes home to Tucson (8-28-10). This rig is a sister to the 23 ALF Ladder Reg 4187. The missing reg # 4188 is in California. All three were on the same purchase order. |
