On this day, September 6, 1980 I happened to be passing through Caribou, Maine on my way back to Halifax from Quebec. The Caribou Fire Department had their all American LaFrance fleet out on the apron, and I was lucky enough to get the following photos:
No.1
No.2
No.3
No.4
No.8
Some departments were still running open top "bathtub" cab LaFrances in those days, but Maine's winters likely discouraged that practice. The 'sedan cab" was a rarity by the 1980s. The long hood, with bell mount, covered a straight eight gasoline engine.
No.3
