Uh oh, now you've opened a can of worms.

What's the significance of the Foamite label? I assume something to do with foam fire suppression.

I was thinking maybe an airport apparatus.  :chin: But it's a ladder truck.  :scratchhead:

Maybe not ladders. It looks more like a joist of some sorts.

It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damned near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.

Believe the Foamite indicated some company affiliation not a particular model.

I'm guessing early 50s?  Friend had a nice open cab ladder truck like that which he sold to someone in Texas.  

Buyer had more $$$ than brains; he f'd up and ran the ladder up into some power lines when showing up for something.  A VERY NICE rig burnt to a crisp.  
Enjoy life - it has an expiration date.

So, the ALF-Foamite was built in Toronto. Interesting.
