Yes.

And the old spare ladder 14 (1997 Simon Duplex / LTI 75 Spartan 2000gpm quint) is currently in service as ladder 12 till the new rig is ready for service.

Wasn't Ladder 14 originally in service at Ladder 12?

Today I just drove by Station 3 and saw the Pierce back in service as L13.

The city planned to enlarge the house in 1999, but to save $$$ took that project out. They new for the last 4 years that they would have to deal with it eventually.

Only 2 bidders out of 3 manufacturers who make a 100' rear mount that would fit. All of the rest would not even come close.

The new epa regs make the rig wider and taller.

When it was 1st delivered I backed it in to the fire house in one shot and I have not been a truck driver in a decade. It fit, but was very tight and the concern was if a driver is not carefull there will be a major problem.

Today one of the regular drivers backed it in, after the pedistal, railings and the door moldings had been modified and it was fine.

The rigs 90 years ago when this house was built were a lot smaller.

Bigger isn't always better!

Agreed, but same size rig or smaller is no longer manufactured. In large part due to EPA engine emmission requirements.

That is because the ALF broke and is being fix. Air bag shocks are bad. They are fixing now.
