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 "

Hey Cody, Thanks for sharing the pictures, they look good brother
Turntable is a '68,Truck is a '94,and the ladder itself is a '95. Low hrs but parts are getting harder to find and with Alfs current condition,we figured it was time.
Hey Chief, Thanks for that informatiom. It's hard to beleive
the turntable is 30 + years.
37 years ago I joined the Northumberland Fire Department (this is the first department I joined and still run with) used a 1948 ALF 65' mid-mount stick with 500 gpm pump and a 350 gal booster tank. It was replaced with a 1980 Hahn 105' rear mount stick with a 1000 gpm pump. The Hahn was replaced with a 2000 E-One 100' rear mount with a 2000 gpm pump with a 350 booster tank, it still is in service. These are a lot newer than the first piece the department used a 1776 hand pumper that is housed at the station.
