Engine 44 / Truck 25 is a very old firehouse located in the Roland Park section of Baltimore. Truck 25 has typically been assigned a low-profile apparatus so that it would make the tight vertical fit into that fire station. I remember growing up in that area and T25 operating a mid-mount 85' (?) open-cab Peter Pirsch ladder and after that one of the rear-mount single axle ALF Ladder Chiefs was used before the Seagraves started showing up for duty as T25.
