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.
Our station has one 75' Pierce quint quint (1991 rehabbed in 1997 0 brought into our department used in 2002) with 500 gallons water and 50 gallon foam cell. We have the only ladder truck for the county. Its a small county with less than 25,000 people. Most of our structures are 3 stories or less.
Dillon, Looks Good, The only thing I don't like is the over hang, and I am not just talking about your
truck. We had one in the department I was formerly with, and it just seem to upstruct your vision. Hopefully
they will come out with a new design some day. Thanks for sharing your picture of your truck.
