The Fox Restoration Committee is at it again. This time tackling the COT 1923 American LaFrance ladder Truck.

OK OK, we need to work a little on the long shots - but hey, this rig is really long.

This 1923 ALF Type 17-6-75′ Ladder truck ( Serial # 4187) was originally purchased by City of Tucson (COT) in 1923 along with 2 ALF Type 75 triple combination pumpers. This rig left Tucson in the late 50’s and recently returned. The Fox restoration committee recently agreed to work on this project. One of the original pumpers may join this project in the future. We expect this project to take 3-5 years. We try to update the project photos weekly (most weeks). Please check back often to see the progress. Enjoy!!!

This photo is a photo copy (many times over) of what the truck looked like in 1959 when it left Tucson.
