Ladder 3
A 2012 Pierce Arrow XT 100 foot tiller reconfigured with a longer wheel base tandem rear-axle tractor and shorter trailer. The first of a new type recieved from Pierce after the deliveries of Ladders 1, 4, 10, 9, and 12. The tractor was lengthened to accomodate a larger pollution control system and the trailer was shortened. Noticeable differences on the trailer include elinination one 19.5" cabinet, rearranged top-side diamond plate tool boxes, the ladder rests on taller boom supports allowing for a more horizontal look and has a shorter extension on the tip by thirteen inches. New A/C unit and extra door steps were added.
The tractor wheel base was increased by fifteen inches. The entire length of the truck increased from 59' 9.50" to 59' 11.50".
Ladder 3 reponds out of the new Central Area Station with Engine 6.
