Yes, TL 29's rig when to Lad 50 & their RM when to Lad 29. Reason - FDNY needed a Lad co without a tower ladder because of the weight of the rig that could cross the bridge leading to Manhattan State Hospital located under the Tri-bro Bridge on Wards Is. The 1st & 2nd due ladders 29 & 14) were both tower ladders at the time.Didn’t they swap with 29 truck
Ladder 87 received a tower ladder in 1987.There is the thread going around with the new Tillers that companies are getting converting over from a rear-mount. This got me curious what was the last company to switch from a rear-mount to a tower ladder? And when?
Yes, but I don't think that counts for this thread since that was when the company was formed.Ladder 87 received a tower ladder in 1987.
