It was assigned to Engine 20 in Dorchester. Never really worked well for the BFD. Kind of an expirement that was doomed to fail from the first. I have more info about this some where I will try and locate it and post it.

I think it was assigned to that house, to make up for a lack of a nearby truck company in the area, espically out in Port Norfolk. Never saw it used as a ladder though...
