The grand daddy of them all:

This if from the neighboring department,

Name: Ladder 4 "Big Sexy"

Year: 2004

Type: Pierce Arrow XT Tiller Ladder with a 100' heavy duty ladder

Equipment: Body and Aerial: 300 gallon water tank. Hosebed capacity for 800' of 5" LDH. Gortite rollup doors. 161' of ground ladders. 1500 gmp Waterous single stage pump. Outlets: 1.5" tank fill, (2) 2.5" left side, (1) 2.5" right side, (1) 4" right side. (2) 1.5" speedlays, 200' of 2.5" deadlay. Harrison 10kW hydraulic generator. 100' heavy duty ladder. Akron 3578 electric monitor with stow.

A little about this unit: Ladder 4 (formerly Ladder 1) Was housed at Raleigh Fire Department's Station 1 along with two engines and a field command truck. The truck was on the front line from 2004 to July of 2009 when the rig crashed enroute to a small structure fire. "Big Sexy" as her crew dubbed her was a beast of a machine and could handle multiple jobs at a scene including filling in as a pumper when needed.

A video of Engine 1 and Ladder 1 en-route to a false alarm, notice the co-ordination between the driver and tiller operator, you can also see Engine 13 outside of quarters for an unknown reason.
