This is a digital photo collection containing
over 580 original images of vintage fire appliances / apparatus built by Ward LaFrance Truck Corporation of Elmira NY. Taken mostly during the second half of the 20th Century, they include engines, ladders, quadruple combinations, rescue squads, and special units in many styles and on both custom and commercial chassis with open-cab, closed-cab, and sedan-cab versions.

Basic informational details are contained within each photo's file-name.

John Floyd was a prolific photographer and collector of firefighting and rescue apparatus photos. After John passed away at his Laurel, Maryland home in August 2020, his family donated his collection to The Laurel History Boys, Inc.—a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that preserves and shares the history of his hometown. As both a tribute to John and an aide to our mission, we are honored to reissue this incredible digital photo compilation that he originally produced.
