Chicago FD History – Morita 135′ Ladder

This from Bill Friedrich on the one-of-a-kind 135′ Hendrickson/Pierce/Morita ladder in Chicago

Here is a shot of Truck 2’s old house at 540 W. Washington Blvd. Truck 2 was scheduled to get the new Hendrickson/Pierce/Morita that did not fit. I am also attaching photos of (EF-197), the 1974 Hendrickson – Pierce – Morita Aerial Lift (Pierce # 8276-C). You have a good view of the aerial itself as well as the ground ladder storage. I am also sending a parade photo showing where the ff’s rode on the back step.

When they realized the height of the ladder would not fit the doors, they exchanged rigs with Truck 1 (EF-192), a 1972 Alfco 1000 Series Ladder Chief.

I am trying to locate a shot of the company showing Hook & Ladder 2.
