Great pictures! I work as a FF in Warren County, and I dont think I've seen that tower out working before!

Hey Crashy, City of Lebanon has a big old Seagrave ladder truck but it is out of service with mechanical issues so they request Turtlecreek's tower truck for mutual aid on any structure fires. My son is one of the firemen in the bucket in these pictures.

Oh yeah, I've seen it before down at Station 41. Looks like a cool piece, never seen it outside the bay though...

Sutphens are my favorite! They're also infamously hard to kill.

My department killed one, and our front pad all at once!


Learned a valuable lesson in the process. High tension power lines WILL arc to a tower platform over 10 feet away and ground out the outriggers.
