From 1953 to 1965 the LFD apparatus fleet was dominated by LaFrance trucks.

Former Engine 4 owned by Barry Stewart in PEI

Former Engine 4 1961 LaFrance pumper, now owned and stored in Charlottetown PEI.

Every front line pump and aerial with the exception of Unit 22 (Truck 2) and Unit 16 (Engine 6) were built in Toronto by LaFrance.

To the best of my knowledge, only 2 of these rigs have been saved. The 1961 900 series pumper (ex Engine 7) that was traded to King/Seagrave in 1978 on the Scot/KS pump that became Engine 7 and the 1967 LaFrance 700 series open cab pump that I knew as Unit 14 (Engine 4).
