Posted September 18, 2017 I notice that the rigs don't have mechanical sirens on them and is Scottsdale still part of Rural Metro or is it a local government operated Fire Department? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 19, 2018 So a ladder tender is an engine with more ladders and extrication equipment? What's the point of it? Being in Cali, I've never heard of a LT and I am curious of it's function. Is it staffed 24/7 with a full crew? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) LT's saves wear and tear on the Ladder, LT's run EMS, MVA etc.. calls in the Ladder Co.s first due and cost 1/2 of what a 1.3 to 1.5 Million Ladder Truck cost Edited January 19, 2018 by GilbertFIRE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2018 Ladder Tenders general cross manned, like Gilbert Fire said they reduce wear and tear on the Full "Big" Ladders, depending on agency LT's can be rescue engines, Medium Squad style or even Small squad style rigs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
