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 the 1923 American LaFrance ladder truck.

Both Projects are documented here. Click on a rig below (or a link in the right column) to see its story. In August 2010, the ladder’s sister engine came home and also needs restoration. Stayed tuned to see what happens next.

COMING HOME!!!! 1923 ALF Type 75 Engine Reg 4189 comes home to Tucson (8-28-10). A page will be added soon for this rig. 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.	[thumbnails] The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed..
