  Mike Mc: The Chicago Ridge rig that you’re thinking of was actually their Mack CF/Pirsch squad used by their POC’s, which they had in addition to the Mack CF/Pirsch 100′ RM truck.

  An old Pirsch rear mount aerial that had been updated with a Ford cab. The ladderless rig was used a a spare squad for a few years. I saw it running as Squad 1 a few times. This was probably 15 to 20 years ago now. It may also have been made into a collapse rescue rig.

  Chicago Ridge did something similar with an old ladderless rear mount. Also about 15 years ago.

  I’ve been trying to find a picture of that one as viewed from the pump panel side. I saw one in FIRE APPARATUS JOURNAL a few years ago but nothing since so is there one on here someplace since I’ve been trying to find it but to no avail. Thanks.
