Watch Hill firefighters practiced this week on various methods to properly set up the aerial ladder on uneven ground, hills, and inclines. If you look closely, you will see that all but one wheel is lifted completely off the ground in order to level and stabilize the truck. Watch Hill Ladder 104 is a 2007 Pierce with a 100 foot aluminum aerial ladder with a 2000 gallon per minute pump, a 500 gallon tank, 128 feet of ground ladders, and 1000 feet of large diameter supply hose. |
