New Orleans, LA Fire Apparatus

Some good questions that I don't have too many answer to. In regards to Ladder 9, the officer told me that they could set this up to flow water; however, it was ruled unsafe to climb the aerial. I do find it hard to believe that a ladder this new would fail the ladder test though. On the other hand, this rig did look rather beat. Though this has nothing to do with the ladder, two rear compartment doors on the officer's side had been ripped off.



In regards to color schemes, Ladder 2 is the only truck in the department painted in this way. I am not sure if this is the thing of the future or what. Most of the ALF rigs you see on this thread are actually being leased from ALF. I'm not sure how many are actually owned by the department, so there is a chance that Ladder 2 came as a demo and was lettered for NOFD. Again, I'm just speculating on this though.
