You know that fire trucks are getting big when the covering ladders are too huge to park inside the station...at least it wasn't raining or single digits like other working fires <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Hysterical' />

[quote name='massfirebuff' post='148897' date='Sep 16 2007, 14:22 ']I don't really keep up on all of the goings on in Metrofire, so does anyone know why Everett is running the rescue in place of a second ladder truck? I know they have for a while, and wondered if it was a permanent thing, or if the other ladder was out of service for some other reason.[/quote]

Mechanical issue's, Ladder 2 will be back shortly, and with height restrictions. a spare is not a viable option. So the Rescue Run's in place of the truck when they go out.

None of the spare ladders from either Chelsea, Medford, or Boston are able to fit in at Engine 3's quarters?

That CF rig was Medford's first Lime rig. AND the first lime rig I ever saw in my life. Such a sad end for such a fine rig

I don't know for sure if Ladder 3 is still around or not, massfiretrucks.com doesn't list it, and firenews.org does, and I don't get around Medford much to be able to tell you myself. I know they used to have spare engine, Engine 3 a 1987 Pierce Arrow, but again, I'm not sure if thats still the case.

Don't they have the Cf Tower as a spare?
