What is the Oldest Fire Apparatus You Have In Service In Your Department?
In the department I belong, we have a 29 year old American LaFrance Ladder Truck. You would never know that by looking at it, and it is still in great machanical shape as well.

I believe "in service" means you use it for firefighting, not parades, show pieces,etc. No one hase a 1919 rig that they go fight fire with, do they?
