Cool! And I wasn't quite clear - is L9's old ALF/Becker at L5 now? Isn't it an older rig than the E\-One RM that was L5 before?

The current ladder 5 is a 1998 ALF Eagle Becker/AI 100' TDA, which was formerly assigned as ladder 9 at University District station 17. In 2010 it replaced a 2000 E\-One Cyclone 100' rear mount (APP #5347), when it was reassigned to Northgate station 31. APP #5347 was then reassigned as ladder 90 at the Joint Training Facility.
There is still another former ladder 5 on the SFD roster. APP #5331 was one of three Spartan LTI 106' rear mounts purchased in 1992. It was assigned to the Northgate station 31 until 2000. Last year after being in reserve status for eleven years, it was reassigned as ladder 3 at the Central District station 6, replacing another 1992 RM, APP #5333.
APP #5333 was first assigned as ladder 9 from 1993 to 1999, and was sold at auction a year ago. The other 1992 RM, APP #5332, currently in reserve status at Ballard station 18, was assigned as ladder 8 from 1993 to 2007.
The remaining 1992 series rear mounts are the only ladders on SFD roster able to fit into the tight quarters of old station 6. Built in 1931 to accommodated the smaller apparatus of the day, it was designated as a historic landmark in 2005, thus prohibiting any modification to the apparatus bay entrance. Construction of the new station 6 is scheduled for completion in December 2012.
I hope this helps.
