Yes! I believe 170's truck was 159's old truck. It's now a reserve rig. 170 used to be a tiller truck, as for a "light force," I dunno.

Thnx BE3700. Not too shabby yourself. Metal Ladders? L.A. County Uses metal ladders and they work just fine. City uses wood ladders due to tradition and they also work just fine.

Thought county uses wooded ladders? That definitely was not LAFD ladders.
