The Museum has an extensive collection of photographs of fire apparatus from all over the world. We will be using this group of web pages as a kind of changing exhibit of a selection of the photos in the collection. Many of these photos were taken by Hall of Flame volunteer Jim Pearson. Jim is a former volunteer fire department chief from Connecticut who moved to the Phoenix area a few years ago. One of his hobbies is fire apparatus photography. These photos were taken by Jim over the past couple of years. In addition to the great photographs, Jim also is careful to describe the rigs which he is recording. We do not own any of the rigs displayed in this section, although we sure wish that we did! |

1970 American La France tractor drawn aerial truck. 100 foot aerial ladder Ladder 4, Mesa, Arizona FD The cab of this rig is that of a more modern century series as a repair after the rig was involved in an accident. The truck was retired by Mesa and sold to the Gila Bend Indian Community FD. They sent it to Ferrara for a rebuild and it has come back with a new trailer, cab and chassis. It is still awaiting a certification test and may never see use in the fire service. Photo by Jim Pearson |
