1924 American LaFrance 1000 GPM Rotary Gear Pumper - Apparatus #128 is a 1000 GPM triple combination rotary gear pumper, hose and 40 gallon soda-acid chemical tank.  It is one of the last rotary gear pumpers to survive in Seattle.  In later years, this type of pump became obsolete due to the advent of the centrifugal pump.

Originally painted "Fire Engine" red, Apparatus #128 was repainted white during its restoration by the Last Resort Fire Department.  Historically, white is the second most common color for fire apparatus.  purchased new by the Everett Fire Department of Washington for $13,500, apparatus #128 was later sold to the town of Index.  In 1967 it became the first rig acquired by the members of the Last Resort Fire Department.  The Seattle Fire Department had 5 pumpers almost identical to this one, all delivered in January of 1921, but they remained "Fie Engine" red throughout their 37 years in the Seattle fie Department.
