hawkinspoint- Thank you for the correction. I misread the number when I was getting the info from my Excel spreadsheet when I mistakenly posted Engine 39 instead of Engine 35.
My sincerest apologies to everyone in the Baltimore area for referring to your "Trucks" as "Ladders." I should have known better. When I make up my apparatus lists in Excel I always use "E" for engines, "L" for ladders, and "T" for tankers before the number. I should have been using "Truck" all along when referring to Baltimores Ladder Trucks. I'm surprised nobody said anything before this.
It is interesting the terminologies that differ across the USA. In Kansas City and other departments in that area of the country they use "Pumper" instead of "Engine." In some areas "Ladders" are called "Aerials." In Wichita what I would call an "Engine" is referred to as a "Motor."
