Auburn Al, New Ladder

[ryefd192 2]

Auburn FD has recently taken delivery of a 95' Sutphen Aerial Platform titled Ladder 1. The truck is painted the traditional Auburn white with blue and orange striping. I will try to post pictures of the truck if given the opportunity to take them

P.S. The guys at the FD have mixed feelings about the truck; due to the lack of a tiller, the length of the truck prohibits it from easily making many of the turns around the city streets of Auburn. Also, the truck only fits in the far right (left from street view) stall at Auburn station 1 as it is the only stall long enough; therefore the truck cannot easily make the right turn out of the station. It is joked that the truck should be kept on campus because the only reason it was bought was because all other in service ladders are 75' quints which are not tall enough to reach the tallest buildings on campus.
