My favorite apparatus is the one we just got rid of. It was a 1978 American LaFrance Pumper. It was just a classic fire truck and you could hear it coming for miles. I don't
know what there is about it, but it was just a great truck

Mine would be our front line engines (their sister trucks). They carry everything I need, a hose and an airpack :)

Eric I agree with you on one of them. I would have to say that right now LV-6 is my favorite. It's just to bad that we got rid of Engine 2. I really liked that one. In addition to Ladder 6 I also like ATV-1 Polarias/Kimtek 6X6.

Our new 2009 scania Rescue pumper. It just replaced our 1995 scania, and is a dream. The picture is of 063 blacktowns but ours is identical. Ba in the seats, lockers are well set out, clear LED strobes all over it. Really is a nice truck to use.

My favorite piece of apparatus is our ladder. It's an open cab behind the driver and front passenger so it's fun to ride in. Everyone can see you as you blow by with the lights and sirens. Of course there's a drawback to an open cab area for us...

One night I went on an automatic firealarm call. It was a driver, an officer, and me - the only one in the open cab portion. We made a tight turn while I was putting on my SCBA and almost fell out from the force. You just need to be careful.

Our Ladder 1 is an E-One 110' straight stick and this by far is my favorite. Single rear wheel base means we can get it in many tight spots. Great truck.

Far it's Brush/Utility 309 Go where ever you need it! Treat her right and she will show you places that the fancy brush trucks are scared of!
