  The truck had extensive damage to the front and cab and was sent back to Pierce to be repaired and tested

  Rich, there was no damage to the ladder. They did have it re-tested by UL, and it was fine.

  I also remember that person. That used it as a engine hoist. If I remember the truck was only about old and twisted the ladder.

  A lot of not so great history with this truck. Got into a t-bone crash on Thanksgiving after a kid went around traffic that was yielding. In the first few weeks they had it, an idiot employee used the ladder as an engine hoist. Mike L knows what I’m talking about.

  That was a good truck. They got rid of it in 2008 when they got the tower ladder which they ditched around 2015 or 16. Not sure where either went. after

  Mr. Simpson has his own fire truck? Wonder what Marge thinks of this?
  Seriously, it looks sharp and hopefully solid for 28 years old.
