5.0 out of 5 stars Fire Apparatus History from Los Angeles City, May 21, 2000

By	Robert P. Vaccaro (Holtsville, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An excellent photographic history of fire apparatus that served The Los Angeles City Fire Department from 1953 to 1999.Chuck Madderom has done a great job in photographing some of LA City's most memorable pieces of equipment. The photos are clear and the captions concise. It would be a great addition to any fire buff's bookshelf. Especially those with a sincere interest in fire apparatus from the City of Angels.
