Rig was a 1931 American LaFrance Master Series 700gpm pumper shown after pneumatic tires were installed but before a windshield was added. There were 21 of these that served at Engine(s): 10, 12, 35, 47, 60, 61, 72, 91, 164, 209, 212, 213, 219, 222, 252, 253, 301, 327 & 328. They were the last Rotary Gear pumpers. Their last piece of apparatus was a 1944 Mack L 1000gpm (shop #1036) that had been previously assigned to E152 then E6 that was assigned to them around 1954.
