Good pictures Alex.
Specific to W. Palm Beach, they put a '03 Ladder Tower formerly assigned as L01 in reserve? Any idea the reasoning behind replacing it with a 75' stick? Is this their only truck company?
Also, what became of the former Sutphen 75' Quint they once had at L01, maybe a '94 or '95 model year?
Thanks in advance.

Ladder 1 which was assigned to Station 7, was put at Station 1 while the Platform housed at 1 was out of service due to mechnical repairs. Since 7 has no high rises around it's area, they kept the Ladder at 1. Engine 1 went to 7, and the Platform was placed in reserve status. So Ladder 1 replaced the Platform and Engine.
As for the second question, there is a second Ladder Company in West Palm Beach. Ladder 5 which is also in a reserve truck due to it's stick and outriggers not working properly.
