07/30/12 75 W, 2 I - + 6 - 6 Laurinburg Ladder 1 (and More)

Photographer Lee Wilson found himself in Scotland County this weekend, and snapped this well-posed photo of Laurinburg Ladder 1. That's a 1997 Sutphen aerial platform (1765/300'/100') from Brunswick, NY. It's served the Laurinburg Fire Department for about six years. (They have two stations, named Station 1 and Station 6.) See more photos, including some apparatus from Hamlet in Richmond County. including their early 1920s American LaFrance pumper and 1949 Mack pumper.

That is probably the 1949 Mack that was featured in a Mack Fire Truck ad, as well as an early 60s edition of Compton’s Encyclopedia.
