Posted January 15, 2016 Why do they need a 100" ladder?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2016 They still need a truck co for big boxes, and other truck co operations such as Vehicle extrication, venting, etc... next should come a 2nd station (573) south of the RR tracks and eventually station 576 out West part of Maricopa The current L571 is beat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, another station south of the tracks would be good. A real station 575 would also be nice for them. They should probably get a hazmat team so they don't have to rely on Gila River & since Casa Grande doesn't bring the county hazmat truck anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 17, 2016 Maricopa still has big box stores that would require a 100' ladder for aerial operations. No reason to handicap yourself by buying a 75'ladder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, that's right. I forgot they moved to a new public safety building. 575 was in a double wide right in the center of town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2016 100 foot ladders are not purchased for height, they are purchased for reach. Many 3 story commercial buildings are set back at least 50-75 feet from the road or parking lot which eats up almost the entire aerial ladder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
