Lincoln’s ladder truck is back in action
The view from Lincoln’s refurbished ladder truck.
The Lincoln Fire Department’s ladder truck is back after a refit. “Ladder one, or L1 as it’s shortened to, was sent to Pierce Manufacturing in Wisconsin, where it was then disassembled. From there, the main 105-foot ladder, along with its supporting system and substructure were completely rebuilt and inspected. The truck also had most of its lighting upgraded to LED, has repairs inside and outside performed, and then rebuilt,” according to the department’s Instagram page.
