The City of Hazleton FD still operates this 1995 KME AERIALCAT 102' TOWER LADDER. It runs out of the Southside Station and is part of the Pioneer Fire Company No 1. The rig is one-of-three older (20 years of service or older), that the Hazleton FD operates. The department is in the process of replacing this rig along with the other two.
