Where they ever called "Quints"? I thought at some point they did.
AAre all Ladder Co.'s in quarters with an Engine Co. or function as stand alone companies sincce they are technically quints?
What is going to become of Ladder 2's rig? Re-assigned or reserve?
Thanks for the information.

Ladder 68,
Correct! About 2-3 years ago, maybe a little longer, Fort Lauderdale did in fact refer to their ladder company's as quints, that has since changed. As of right now, until Tower-2 is placed in service the callsigns are as follows; Ladder-2, Ladder-13 and Ladder-35.
When Tower-2 is in fact placed in service, Ladder-2 will become a reserve.
