When TL14 got their original E-One 95′ tower ladder, the spot they were parked in exposed the platform hydraulics to a ceiling mounted apparatus floor heater. The heat kicked on and blew on the platform hydraulics long enough to cause the fluid to expand and tilt the platform upwards just enough that it hit the door going out on a run. So they turned the heater off and taped a note to it advising members not to turn on that particular heater.

New Towers for 39, 37 and 14 are all delivered. I believe I heard 37 and 14 are in the new rigs. Since the photos of 39 were seen first I would believe they are in their new tower as well.

Thanks for both photo’s. This helps to really bring some differences and progress to light

It’s always nice to have a transition shot just as you have.

Love the 1st pic, also what about the 3rd rig, is it at the Academy yet?!

Both of the those shots are sharp. It definitely looks like the baskets are a little wider on the New E/One rigs
