This new rig will replace a 2002 Pierce Dash 95' MM Tower Ladder currently assigned to Ladder 5, the busiest Ladder Co. in the city of Bridgeport.

The current Ladder 5 will go to Ladder 6, and the current Ladder 6, a 1995 Pierce Arrow 100' RM' Ladder will go into reserves.

Good luck to Bridgeport's Bravest with their new rig. They sure can use it.

The new Ladder 5 is expected to be delivered by this August.
