I was informed by a Roanoke County source that very recently both of these rigs were severely damaged (and likely totaled) during a late evening training evolution involving both rigs when the Ladder Truck struck a transformer. One can only imagine what it was like when that occurred. Thank GOD nobody was hurt or killed. Tires blown out as well.
