SAFD purchased
a variety of apparatus throughout the years. The photos we have
compiled represent a very small part of the retired fleet and some of the
reserve fleet. Some of the Smeal engines and LTI ladder trucks are
still in the active reserve fleet.

Most apparatus purchases are for several identical units. Many of the pumpers and ladder trucks
purchased in the 70's
were manufactured by American LaFrance and
Seagrave.
There are some unique units
purchased in small quantities such as the Hendrickson / 3D units that were
used at 31 and 22 as well as the Ward LaFrance Pumper used by 38
and 31.
Some of these
vehicles are still owned by the SAFD. Ladder 1's old tiller truck is in
storage at the shops. Some of the retired stations are also still
owned by the city.
