Truck 5 entered
service in 1926 and was placed in Station 8 on the Corner of Eagle
and Neilson (now closed). I shared its quarters with Engine8 and
serve up until 1973 when its aerial ladder collapsed completely
separating from the rig at its turntable. One fireman was severely
injured. Pictured above is its 1952
LaFrance 100 Ft midship aerial.
