Quote:Ladder 4? But it's a mini-pumper. ???
Yes it is, but if you know the area it makes sense. Most of the areas that the VFD's cover are seaside communities with very narrow streets, where a regular ladder won't fit. Check out FDNYTrucks.com under the Specialty Units tab, towards the bottom are all the VFD's (Aviation down), there are some pretty unique rigs out there (I particularly like RPFD's ambulances).
