Ground ladders on the Lincoln rigs are stored flat just below the hose bed in the rear....on the *newer* E-ones, they are over eight feet in the air and difficult to access. The new Smeal pumper (Engine 2) has a ladder compartment in the rear at a little more manageable height and stored on the beam.
NFPA requires *I believe* a minimum 24 foot, 14 foot, and 10 foot ladder for an Engine Company. We have the bare minimum.
