Ladder-15

Because of the unusual residential areas of our fire district (long winding driveways) this truck carries over 250 feet of ground ladders of various lengths from 10 to 50 feet. These ladders provide the firefighters access to second and third stories, as well as, the roofs of these dwellings and commercial buildings. The ladder truck also has an on-board PTO driven 20,000-watt generator and four 1500-watt floodlights which provide more than enough lights for a nighttime fire scene.
Also carried are tools and equipment to remove a fire or accident victim from a high location above ground and is used in conjunction with out rescue truck for all technical rescue calls. As with all Radnor Fire Company apparatus, Ladder 15 has a headset for all personnel riding on the apparatus, which enables every member of the crew to communicate with one another. These headsets also allow the officer to issue orders, communicate with the 911 center and with other apparatus responding to the call.
