Ladder 1 is a typical truck company, as well as a special operations company, that responds to all collapses, trench, high-angle, and any other technical rescue, not only in the City but also anywhere the UASI strike team is requested. 


Ladder 2 is stationed with Engine 3 at 442 Trumbull Street. Ladder 2 is a 2016 Pierce Arrow XT 6710 cab and chassis with a 1997 LTI 95' tractor-drawn aerial.
