Editorial Reviews

The PHOENIX November, 1998
"Larry Phillips is fond of the 700 Series ALFs. Well, maybe that's an understatement. He is passionate about 700 Series ALFs! And you can add to that, that he is extremely knowledgeable about them, and about fire fighting in general. Combine all these things does wonders for bringing our a fine book that any buff, ALF or not, will find to be a most worthwhile addition to his or her collection." "This is a must buy for any 700 Series enthusiast, and any fire apparatus historian, since the 700 Series set the standard (literally) which ALL manufacturers ultimately ad to follow."
