The grand daddy of them all:

This if from the neighboring department,
Name: Ladder 4 "Big Sexy"
Year: 2004
Type: Pierce Arrow XT Tiller Ladder with a 100' heavy duty ladder
Equipment: Body and Aerial: 300 gallon water tank. Hosebed capacity for 800' of 5" LDH. Gortite rollup doors. 161' of ground ladders. 1500 gmp Waterous single stage pump. Outlets: 1.5" tank fill, (2) 2.5" left side, (1) 2.5" right side, (1) 4" right side. (2) 1.5" speedlays, 200' of 2.5" deadlay. Harrison 10kW hydraulic generator. 100' heavy duty ladder. Akron 3578 electric monitor with stow.
A little about this unit: Ladder 4 (formerly Ladder 1) Was housed at Raleigh Fire Department's Station 1 along with two engines and a field command truck. The truck was on the front line from 2004 to July of 2009 when the rig crashed enroute to a small structure fire. "Big Sexy" as her crew dubbed her was a beast of a machine and could handle multiple jobs at a scene including filling in as a pumper when needed.

A video of Engine 1 and Ladder 1 en-route to a false alarm, notice the co-ordination between the driver and tiller operator, you can also see Engine 13 outside of quarters for an unknown reason.

WTF??????????????????? lol

[Newfoundking]

It's either photoshopped or a truck just built with a rear end that looks like a front... see the different lightbar, and the bigger wheels on the right side?

^that looks ALOT like a Spartan Gladiator/Ferra HD.

This is 1 Quint 9 2009 Spartan Gladiator/Ferrara HD-77ft Quint - 1500gpm/400gal which is about a mile down the road from me. IMO its one of the only good looking trucks EFD uses.


1 Recue 1 1997 Ford/Ferrara walk-in Heavy Rescue. This one of two rescue squads in Evansville, and one of 3 trucks I am aware of that carries excitation tools out of about 15 trucks in the city. 1 Quint 9 is the only non rescue truck I know of that carries extrication tools.

Double Cabbed fire truck

This is their company demo truck. It shows the interior of two different models. Not photo shopped or anything but to simply show the interior, exterior and to be used for marketing reasons.

Do you know how it works?

The powder is a potassium based compound. It is safe and non-toxic. It is, however, an irritant - much like accidentally breathing flour dust would be. Any time firefighters are involved with fires and Fire Interruption Technology, demonstration or otherwise, they recommend you wear your SCBA.
