FINALLY - I got a decent (still not as good as I'd like, but it will do) of New Marlborough E-4 all wheel drive 2006 IH/KME 750/750/25B Foam full set of Amkus Jaws and 3 air packs about 1300 feet of 4 inch LDH - portable pond & ladder and both sorted in rear compartments which has seemed to work out well so far.

As discussed many times they do not without sepcial permit. MGL only allows blue in the rear.

Or without the local PD and Staties looking the 'other' way, which I'd assume is a common practice.

Do they have a new Ladder 5 on order?

Ted,



No they do not. I was actually at LFD Headquarters yesterday shooting E5 and L5. I happened to bump into the mechanic while there and mentioned that. He said they werent getting a replacement for a few years. Im assuming they are starting to look now at what the possibilities are as I asked a friend from E6 who told me that they are indeed looking to replace it soon.



Chris, how was that job? I was home and was thinking of taking it in, but didnt. The captain from E5 was telling me it wasnt much.

[KDWMAEMT]

I guess while Im at it here, Ill post a couple shots I took yesterday while running around. Heres Lawrence L45, Lawrence E35, Lowell Ladder 3 and Lowell R1 as it was exiting to an MVA.

[KDWMAEMT]

Forgot to add this one. This is the Lawrence Headquarters units E35, L45 and R1. The truck at the far end is the spare which was E35s old E\-One. This was just before they all exited to an all out stove fire.

lets put it this way, i heard car 21 call for the second truck after engine 8 reported fire in the rear to head out it only took me maybe ten to fifteen minutes to get there and engine 8 was starating to break down their feeder, so i didnt even bother with shooting any building pics

Hmm, I like Lowell Ladder 3. Don't think I had seen it before.
