This from Drew Smith:
On February 6th, the NIPSTA Firefighter Academy candidates were instructed on working from an aerial and on Bangor ladder raises. Due to the temperatures being near zero NIPSTA Truck 1 was set up inside and the class conducted using the two-and-one-half story RIT prop.

The OP ladder was tested last fall by UL. A number of deficiencies were reported. Certified Fleet Services of Elmhurst was contacted to prepare an estimate of the repair costs. At this time the Firefighter Academy Advisory Committee chiefs are awaiting that report so we can determine the cost-benefit to making any repairs.
