That is the Reserve Ladder for Clearwater. That could possibly be Truck 45 or 48. Just to let you know

Most likely. The "51" font is changed so most likely. Comparing a picture of Squad 49 and Squad 51, they look to be the same. So it was most likely moved to Station 51. I will look into it for you

Curious why is this a reserve? It's better than about 99% of front line trucks in service today in the US. They must have deep pockets.

A few years back, Clearwater "returned" two Pierce RM SkyArms which they were having problems with (braking and weight issues with the heavy duty steel aerial and I believe some issues with the "jib" arm as well). From what I was told, they struck some sort of deal with the return of the relatively new SkyArms where they purchased/recieved three rigs in their place. Truck 45 was assigned the TDA, while Truck 48 recieved one of the RM Towers and the other Tower was purchased as a dedicated spare ID'ed as Reserve Truck 46.
