Beat me to it. Ladder 24 put their new piece into service yesterday. I stopped in as I parked there to go to Disney on Ice at the Garden with the family. Really nice rig, some changes from Ladders 1 & 2 (only new ones I've worked on so far) on the interior. Ladder 6 was placed into service a couple weeks ago & their old piece is now down at Greenwood being refurbished. Ladder 24 will be joining it shortly before it is eventually reassigned to Ladder 25.

Just looked at the greenwood archive for L 16,28,&1... it says 265' on there info... the info for L 6 and 24 says 625'.. must be a typo

Sounds like the designers did well.

If you look at the lights on the bumper and on the front of Ladder 26, they are clearly LED lights not strobes.
Is there a drive up window there now...... LOL, nice job Mike, thanks for posting !!!
16 Truck is a good looking rig--I like the red, white and blue numbers on the grill.
