America's premier fire apparatus builder, the American-LaFrance Foamite Corp. of Elmira, N.Y., took a bold gamble in the postwar market by discontinuing its existing products and introducing the revolutionary 700 Series fire engines. This gamble paid off, and the 700 Series quickly became the dominant fire engine in the nation, leaving its competitors in the dust. This comprehensive history of the 700 Series covers all eight major vehicle types, their origins, design controversies, manufacturing, and marketing. It also includes a meticulously researched registry of every 700/800 series apparatus delivered, supported by interpretive tables detailing production, specifications, and major fire department fleets.
