As I stated I was lost when I came across Whitesville Fd near Moncks Corner. This truck is one of the more unique ones I came across.

Whitesville Ladder 6. 1999 Hammer with a Spartan Chassis. According to the Lt on duty, it was the only truck Hammer made. After they made this truck, the company went bankrupt.
