ya his question i typed word for word.i think hes asking how many ground ladders neeeded on an aparatus in order to be considered a truck?i think but the whole question confuses me.lol
Depends on who you are asking my ansewer would be just like harrisons but the last I.S.O. check we had the insector rated my stations mini pumper a truck company ,strange huh
Heck, we have 125' on our RESCUE truck. 172' on the tower.
85' for a Quint apparatus,115' for a Ladder(or platform)used as a Truck.
down in south fla we call our ARFF apparatus ''trucks'' , no aerial is called truck down here
If I remember correctly, NFPA requirements for "Truck Company" is a minimum of 114 ft of ground ladders (Aerial NOT included). ISO is different, I beleive.
