What a stupid money-saving color for a fire engine.

@bg1379 >>>---> I kind of liked the old white color on our fire engines.

Nice Video. Is Ladder 9 getting a new Ferrara too???

[zaffdoc]

Nope

[Cutelilbabygurl03]

ohh, cause on they myspace they have pictures of a ferrara ladder being built and they said it was future truck 9

[zaffdoc]

Good research. The problem is that Truck 9's fireground is made up of very narrow streets and low hanging tree branches and it was felt that the new ladder truck would be too difficult to negotiate the turns, etc. Trk 20 got old Trk 7, and while their fireground is not as constrictive they do have areas where they have to park at the end of the block and hike to the scene of the call. What is going to happen at the end of the present Trk 9's life span?... Keep tuned and we shall see.

Thumbs up to the person in the red car. They immediately give up on making their left turn and get out of the way so the trucks can pass.

@etniesskater7494 It was just a normal "fast wail" its the slow one we also heard just sped up.

[etniesskater7494]
