    What ever became of the original fire truck from the first two seasons. I really loved the open cab and the way the truck looked. That would be a good one for the museum as well. Long ago, Kansas City, Mo. And I think St. Louis, Mo. Used those too. The open cab version was the more classic version of the two. Emergency was a brilliant show and did a lot for helping start the Paramedic programs in the USA. That show is what got people interested in becoming a paramedic.

    I was an 8yo southern West Virginia boy during 1972 when 'Emergency' hit the airwaves. Needless to say, Johnny, Roy and all the E-51/S-51 crews were greatly responsible for me spending 27 years as a Firefighter/EMS First Responder in WV and MD.

    After seeing your video, I happened to be watching an episode of Emergency! and I noticed the Ward Lafrance emblems were missing at that time.....

    @crispycritterz 14 років тому +4

    If Ward did the upgrades, they should have the records of what was changed out.
    I know for years, 51 appeared in just about every Southern California parade. This has to be the most documented vehicles in history.

    First & foremost, I sincerely applaud the effort !! I get to see re-runs , here in Allentown, PA, and I love it. (We had an AMERICAN LaFrance here, & it was found in a field, and some good people got it back to my now-former company). (Restoration extensive; I'd like to see more done).
    L.A.County, still interested ? Seriously, I'd love to take still photos & send them to you !!!! :-)

    I love the 4 panel windshield configuration. I remember as a kid in the 70's thinking how futuristic looking trucks like that looked.
    This video is 3 years old. Any updates? Was it finished?

  • @boxcom5622
    @boxcom5622 14 років тому +1

    To help in the restoration, I'd like to suggest that every so often someone updates the museum website or you tube video with a listing of information with which you already have, so as to reduce duplication of information.

    Have you checked with American Lafrance just give them vin number and they should be able to give you info on what each compartment was made to hold they might have pictures of before it left the plant.

  • @FireFighterE9

    there was a 12 foot pike pool i believe above the drafting hoses

  • @FireFighterE9

    you need the old scba tanks that are set up directly infront of the back jump seats.

  • @TheRealJesseStoltzfus
    @TheRealJesseStoltzfus 12 років тому

    at the beginning of the understanding episode from season three they had appliances on both discharges and also had hose in the pocket beneath the red 51. The hose bed dividers there was 3 of them for 4 sections.

  • @code3wnc944

  • @25mfd
    @25mfd 12 років тому +1

    Those hoses are called HARD SUCTION used for drafting water from a STATIC source like a pond or river.
    Your thinking about the synthetic type hoses that are used for supply or fire attack.
    Nothing wrong with this set up.

    At 5:00 he puts his hand on that ledge beneath the ladders and asks if it was red or silver. Season 3, Episode 4 you can see it is silver as the engine drives by laying duals at the opening structure fire. There's also an ABC Extinguisher just forward of that compartment and an CO2 extinguisher just forward of the LDH discharge.

  • @sgtpepper1138
    @sgtpepper1138 12 років тому +2

    Well, because it was being used as a real engine. It's equipment probably needed upgrading over the years to more modern gear since the engine is now about 40 years old.

    Almost every Ward La France I have seen in the last 20 yrs. has been marked "51" , surely with the museum verifying this rig is the real thing. Just a lot of E 51 imitations out there.

    • @vernoncrown
      @vernoncrown 6 років тому

      Are you willing to enter a burning building to save a life? Are you willing to climb an 80 foot ladder, get on the roof of a burning building and cut a hole in the roof so the 1000+ degrees of heated air can vent? Are you willing to drive a 50,000 lb truck under emergency conditions and hope some idiot driver doesn't try to kill you? Michael, your statement reveals you are grossly uninformed and quite a shallow thinker. Moreover, most people love the fire service and are thrilled to be able to donate to the preservation of historic equipment.

    Emergency! was a great T.V. show and the show was cancelled with NBC was 38 years ago. I also don't like Dukes of Hazzard period because of the confederate flag that stirs up lots of controversy and most cable networks refuses to reair reruns of Dukes of Hazzard both TV Series and the movie version because of the confederate flag that's totally racist. I prefer Knight Rider and Emergency! better that aren't racist.
