City Service Hook & Ladder Trucks and Quads

Long before there were aerial ladder trucks, there were city service hook and ladder trucks. For many years, long-wheelbase, straight-frame city service hook and ladder trucks were standard offerings in the product catalogue's of most fire apparatus manufacturers. The last straight service ladder trucks were built in the mid-1950s. The pump-equipped quad rolled on into the 1960s, before it too was eclipsed by the quintuple combination.

This book is a photographic tribute to these fondly remembered hook and ladder trucks and quads built during the golden age of American motor fire apparatus. Starting in the 1900's this books gives a full picture view of early horse draw trucks to the latest trucks used today.

Elevating Platforms: A Fire Apparatus Photo Gallery

Cherry-pickers were a good way for firemen to get to places that traditional aerial ladders weren't able to reach. This led to the revolutionary Elevating Platform, or ''Snorkel,'' as called by many firemen.
Here is a concise history of each company that built elevated platforms, along with a photographic timeline of the various rigs they were built on.

This book features such companies as the Pitman Snorkel, American Lafrance Aero-Chief, Hi-Ranger, Calavar, and Bronto Skylifts. It also covers a few remaining companies that each built only a small number of elevating platforms. This book documents their beginnings in 1958 up to the impressive articulating platforms of today.

Volunteer & Rural Fire Apparatus Photo Gallery

See the enormous variety of volunteer and rural fire apparatus built in 20th Century America. Small town fire departments relied on fire apparatus built on commercial truck chassis from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge or International. The chassis would be sent to a builder, such as Boardman, Pierce, or Seagrave, who would outfit them with a pump, hosebed, ladder racks, and such. Some departments did the outfitting themselves, relying on a local bodyshop or welder to do bodywork.

Now, accomplished fire apparatus authors, W. Wayne Sorensen and Donald F. Wood, have compiled hundreds of photos of these unique smalltown rigs into one Photo Gallery. See ladder trucks, tank trucks, rescue trucks, brush rigs and more. Every firefighting enthusiast will enjoy this fascinating collection of photographs.
