Former Ardsley Quint 1 For Sale

[x635 4,066]

This aerial was replcaed about a year ago with a Spartan/Smeal 105' Quint.

Sort of sentimental about this truck. First aerial I've ever climbed. Spent many years maintaing and responding on calls with it. Got to pick the "Ladder 50" when the county decided that a Quint wasn't a valid piece of apparatus. Wish I had the money, time, and space to aqquire it.

There is a posting in today's JN Legal Notices that the ladder has been purchased by Croton Falls

I hope it is true.

I haven't seen Quint 1 in several years, but from someone who spent 10 years particpating in the process, Ardsley keeps their apparatus immaculate.

I'm sure there is work to be put in, given it's age, but it's a perfect for a community like Croton Falls. They have some structures that would benefit from a 75' stick and increased ground ladders brought to the scene and not having to wait or need mutual aid. Quint 1 is basically an Engine with a Aerial on top.

At least they didn't go out and spend $800,000 on a brand new ladder.

Seems like a very good deal! I have heard it needs some work, though.
