Rock city's rescue was originally owned by the Shaker Road-Loudonville Fire Dept in Colonie, NY. 1993 Spartan/Saulsbury. I was lt of this truck for 5 years. Caught a lot of work with this truck. Great truck!!

I never get to take photos anymore. Word on the street is the new Quint 9 should be in service in a week or two, Quint 5 at week or two after 9, but we know how that always changes. Get your shots of the current Ladder 1 soon, as the other quint on order will likely be replacing it. Not more TDA for Rockford...
