Low Pro Trucks

How many fire departments around the area have apparatus built to be low profile? Is this because of height restrictions inside the firehouse?Ex: Yorktown and Pelham's new ladders...

Rye Ladder 25

2001 Seagrave 100' Rearmount Lo-Pro

OAH: 10'-0"

This is largely due to low bridge heights at some key locations (Metro North bridges at Locust Ave and Purchase St)

New Canaan(Fairfield)CT

Our Ladder 3 is a 2001 Seagrave Lo-Pro rearmount

This was our only option due to door height restriction

I must say, it has proven to be an outstanding truck!!

I was driving by Valhalla FH the other day, it seems they should have ordered there new utility a low profile version. Seems to just fit the third bay if they go really slow and watch out for sand on the pavement to cause the 1/4" clearence they have to be lost and scrape the roof A/C.
