Ridgeland's engine 2 is this Pierce Arrow which they said was a former Navy rig.

Daytona Beach Shores runs this Ferrara with 55'ish aerial. An aerial that short always seems like a waste to me...

They told you wrong.  This was originally owned by Lockheed Aircraft Company in Burbank, CA, then transferred to Lockheed - Marietta in Georgia.  When Lockheed disposed of it, Ridgeland bought it.

I think it's 57'.  I believe the idea is to compete with Telesqurt type aerial devices.

Not everyone around the firehouse is well informed so I take all info with a grain of salt or a milkshake,whichever is closest...lol

Thanks for the info Dave,

Fairview Twp. Pa once ran this ALF Snorkel. I'm not sure if it actually ran a call as I heard a member bought it and donated it but higher ups never put it in service.
