Tower ladder 35

[Fireman6711]

Why is TL35 in a spare 95 foot? I didn’t think the shops really had many of those as spares

 

[baileyjeff]

They are testing out the rig for possibly being assigned a 95 foot tower.

TL35 will have it for a couple weeks

Sitting yup who knows they may not get it back. They are in a good spot for the 95 footer but it’s just big they said.

Good spot yes, but no 95 footers are on order are they?

Nope I believe soon! They want to add a minimum of 3 (95 Footers) and up to 5 Total. It was suppose to be

2 Manhattan, 1 Staten Island, 1 Brooklyn and 1 Bronx

It fits but hits in the back. The tower ladder has to be carful because if they are not back enough the engine can’t get out.

 

[Skyler Fire]

As of right now Tower Ladders 21 and 35 will be turning into 95 footers. And TL163 will be getting a New Rig counting as the 3rd one.

No they aren’t using old 9 anymore they have a different one

 

[baileyjeff]

No they aren’t using old 9 anymore they have a different one

Are they in a 95 footer or a 75 footer?

 

[Skyler Fire]

Are they in a 95 footer or a 75 footer?

I remember back around '94 when i was the CPT of 275 i was working an OT tour in 302 on a HOT Summer day....155 had completed familiarization on a new TL & the day i was in 302 155 had went to the Shops with their old TL .....they switched tools & equipment over at the Shops then came back to Qtrs with the new TL around Noon time....we came back from a Run just as they arrived at Qtrs.....we backed in then the Truck started to back in & we heard a loud scraping sound .....the apron in front of Qtrs was somewhat sloped ....when the new TL was brought to Qtrs previously for testing the fit it was unloaded but now with everything on board the fuel tank which was in the rearmost part of the undercarriage seriously dragged on the incline.....155 had to bring it back to the Shops & get the old Rig back .......during this process they missed a good 1st Due job near Qtrs.....the end result was that the Shops had to install a modified fuel tank with an angled cut on the rear end & less fuel capacity.
