'50's Mack bucket truck. The bucket looks like the one's I believe the old Ford C San Francisco FD Rescue Squads had back in the '70's.

I saw it when it premiered. It was pretty cool. Interesting to know how much work actually goes into making wooden ladders, not to mention the fact that the SFFD still uses them. I think a few reasons they do are due to the trolley wires above the street, their fire resistance, and their long lives, as well as tradition. Only thing is though, I'd imagine they're pretty heavy, especially the 50 footers. Very unique indeed. I also believe there's a YouTube video about the shops. On a side note, at the end of the episode, they're putting the new ladder on one of the SFFD's brand new Spartan Crimson tillers.

And a child abuser for taking drugs in front of her kid.

She wasn't a military person, she wasn't a cop, she wasn't a firefighter, and she wasn't even a member of our government. She was an entertainer, a singer! This is completely innapropriate behavior. Just because she was born in Newark, how does that allow for all the flags in the state to be lowered to half mast. I've never heard of anything like this before.

FDMV's catching their share of work. Any IA's for these JOBS.
