From the left are: Engines 23; 6; 21; 42; and 20. The 1949 Ahrens-Fox pumpers were the last locally built rigs from that great manufacturer that the C.F.D. received.

Six of these engines were delivered in 1949. For some reason Engine 32's rig isn't in the photo. The view along Central Parkway has changed a bit since this photo was taken, Frisch's is nowhere to be seen!
