Old Ladder 1
Ladder 1 was a 1976 Mack with a 100 foot steel aerial ladder manufactured by Pierre Thibault. The truck was powered by a Maxidyne 235 horsepower 6-cylinder trubo-charged diesel engine with a 5 speed manual transmission and air brakes. Ladder 1 carried 165 feet of ground ladders in addition to the aerial ladder.
Original cost of this truck was $72,878.00.
This truck was decommissioned and traded towards the purchase of the new ladder truck in September 2003. Annual Town Meeting in March 2002 approved funding for a new aerial ladder to replace this old workhorse. The new ladder truck has arived. See our new ladder
