From what I understand the quint was designed to store a 2 section 35ft ground ladder, the first I can recall of a single rear axle quint storing a 2 section 35 (vs. the ungodly 3 sections) inside the body rather than on the exterior......if its true I'd like to see it and it probably tells me that yes indeed, some deep thought went into the rigs design.

The quint does have a 2-section 35' ladder, as well as a 28' ladder. I will find my pics of the ladder storage area. it looks very tidy, there is a small blister to the rear door and that is the only noticeable change outside.
