Old Ladder 1
Old Ladder 1 is a 1948 Peter Pirsch 65' Aerial Ladder truck. This truck served the city of Quincy for many years until it was taken out of service when a new ladder truck was purchased. It was then purchased by the Duxbury Call Fire Department, completely overhauled, and sold to the Town for $ 1.00. It was taken out of service again in 1976 when our 1976 Mack aerial ladder truck was delivered.
Here is the original advertisment for the 1948 Pirsch ladder when it was delivered to Quincy.
