1949 American La France

1949 American La France 75' Ladder "Truck 1"  was purchased by the CVFD.  "The Ladder" has been in-service  for over 56 years. Recently the CVFD purchased a 2005 Sutphen 75' Aerial, "Truck 4", replacing the ladder as the department's primary truck.   Truck 1 is now housed at Station 2, but is still used regularly, second to Truck 4, and  for training purposes.

The Ladder was re-powered in 1979.  The  pump and tank were removed, a diesel replaced the old gasoline engine, an automatic transmission and airbrakes were added.  Shortly after, the wooden ground ladders were replaced.  In 1995, Truck 1 was repainted white matching the new, uniform color of the Coraopolis Fire Department's other trucks.
