Sleepy Hollow Tower Ladder 38 Out Of Service "Long Term"

[Viper 139]

Heard Sleepy Hollow's Tower Ladder 38 is out of service "long term", and that it's been shipped to Pennsylvania for evaluation? It's getting time to replace that truck also.

Anybody have the facts?

It's going to be a long time. Lot of rot in the undercarriage.

If I'm not mistaken, the Tower Ladder is getting up there in age. Are or were there any plans to replace it, and has this issue changed that?

How old is the current Tower Ladder?

My department has a Sutphen Tower that is about the same age, and looks about the same model. I'd like to know more about this issue. Is it a department thing or Sutphen thing? Anything we should be watching out for?
