You're both right. The rig is still around, just no longer in Marathon. The Marathon Ladder was traded in and is currently for sale through EVS Firefighting Technologies in Florida. It did survive the hurricane flood waters because, fortunately for them, it was at the Shop at the time of the storm.



Marathon's new ladder is a 109' Rosenbauer Viper on a Spartan chassis with a galvanized ladder, Green Star and SMART Aerial Technology. It is painted in the FDNY paint scheme as a tribute to the 10th anniversary of 9-11. The Ladder will be delivered in the next few weeks and a dedication ceromony shortly thereafter.
