Thank you Legeros Fire Line for sharing this piece of our history!
Sunday truck pic. From Henderson County, here's a newly found factory photo of City of Hendersonville Fire Department, NC's 1948 American LaFrance 700 Series quad, 750/[150?], model 775-QJO, reg -3451, shipped April 27, 1948. One of a number of "true quads" that served in our state, and some of which we have previously misidentified. There were also service trucks with lower-capacity booster pumps and tanks. Here's a thread from 2023 that needs updating, https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1A9Vc3N97R/
