Boston's Awesome New Tower Ladders

[x635 4,066]

As many of you know, I am a big fan of Boston FD. So I just wanted to share with you their new deliveries, two 2005 Pierce Dash 100' Midmount Tower ladders. These midmount TL's are a first for Boston....up until a couple of years ago, with the addition of TL-10, a 2002 Pierce Dash RM Tower, and before that a 1995 E-One RM Tower, the TL was a special call unit. These additions bring the TL count in the city up to 3, and they will each now cover their own special and first in districts.

Just to note, they are Dash's, just with the Enforcer front grill and turn signal assembiles as per Boston spec's so they match the Enforcer engines. The only thing I wish is that they were Pierce Arrow XT's!

I think the towers look awesome! Another nice product put out by Pierce.

Very nice. Hopefully they will clear the low bridges, unlike demos of years past.
