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 "

In my department we have a 75 foot snorkel that we got second hand a few years ago.It is perfect for what we need it for:elevated water.Many of our houses are either set back from the main road or up steep driveways and having 'sticks' or a 'platform on sticks' would be ineffective to use in case of ventilation of rescues from a window.Most of our working fires end up being at the pallet factory down the road or at the ISE egg farm.when these go up teh game plan is surround and drown, so the snorkel is perfect.

We dont currently have any. Our 2nd due engine is being replaced soon and its up for debate on whether it will be a new engine or tower that will take its place. I'm definatly voting tower.
