Aerial Ladder Truck
Click on photos to enlarge
In June of 1960, a new Maxim 75 foot aerial ladder truck was delivered to Franklin.  It replaced the old Mack which was sold to Hebert Manufacturing Company.

1132012_14954_4.jpgThe new truck was an open cab type, not seeming appropriate for this part of the country.  Equipment would include 200 feet of wooden ladders, one rear mounted ¾ inch booster line, 150 feet long.  The line was supplied by a 200 GPM pump from a 100 gallon water tank.  The truck also carried miscellaneous tools for the efficient operations of a modern ladder company.
