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 "

Sully, do you have any pictures you can share with us.
I feel as if the American LaFrance is one of the best
Fire Trucks Built, and I am not saying that their aren't
other well built trucks out there, I just happen to like
American LaFrance over all. Mick

We have one truck in our company. It is a 1982 Seagrave, rear mount 100 foot stick. It looks good for being so old, and a workhorse :-)

Hey Becky, thanks for responding to the discussion, and for sharing the picture of
your truck with us. We had an old Seagrave at the department I was last with, and your
right, it is a work horse. Thanks again, Be well, and stay safe out there.

We have 1992 E-One 110' Straight stick aerial. Single wheelbase the truck is awesome. I can get the truck in almost anywhere. I don't think they make the single wheel base aerials anymore.
