What Type Of Ladder Truck Do You Have In Your Department
I was just wondering what type of Ladder Trucks do you have in your Departments.
Where I came from in New York, we had two ladder trucks. One was a 100 Ft. American
LaFrance Tiller, and the second was a 100 Ft. Mid Mount Seagrave. Just as I was leaving
the department was getting a 100 Ft. Rear mount Platform.
The Department I am with now has a 50 Ft. American LaFrance Squirt.
I will say that it is a much smaller Department I am with now, but I am hoping that
some day soon it will be replaced with a larger Ladder. It is 29 years old, and has been
a excellent truck, and still looks good for it's age.
So tell me, " Whats In Your Department "

My "home" company has a 1989 Spartan/LTI 100' tower. www.hockessin19.com
The company where I rode during college (and still visit/ride when I can) has a 1998 E-One 95' tower and a 2008 Pierce 75' quint, which allows access to some of the alleys in town and provides a backup if the tower is out of service. www.cvhose.com

Very Cool American LaFrance, we had one just like that, except it was
a 100' ladder, or at least I think it was.
Thanks for sharing that with us.

1968 PITMAN SNORKLE, not technically a ladder, but still a truck. Its just like the one you see on emergency every once in a while.

We have a 1986 Sutphen 100ft Mid-mount platform still in very good condition. Gotta love Sutphen trucks.
