  Nice looking unit! How old is the tower ladder that this unit is replacing?

  So is it a budgetary thing to get a straight stick?

  They are somewhat surrounded by towers…Downers Grove and Tri-State, both of which I believe are due on a fire. Suburbs are getting smarter and realizing that not everyone needs to have a tower ladder. You can still make rescues off of a stick, and flow water…is it as nice, easy, comfortable or convenient? No, but it’ll get the job done…

  I would concur.

  Good ;looking unit, but I think they will miss having a bucket, especially with all the multiple dwellings, mid-rises and nursing homes.
