Ladder 93 operates a 1996 Seagrave 100' rear mount aerial ladder.  The ladder does not carry any water with the exception of 3, 2 1/2 gallon pressurized water extinguishers.  It is, however, equipped to deploy an elevated master stream should the need arise.

The truck is powered by a Detroit series 60 470hp diesel engine with an Allison automatic transmission.  It also has a Jake Brake auxiliary braking system.  The truck features a 10KW on-board Onan diesel generator.

The truck has seating for six firefighters with each seat assigned a riding position.  The truck was designed to have the necessary tools assigned for each position mounted close at hand to the firefighters assigned to that particular position.

The truck was specked out by the members of the Old Forge Fire Ladder Company 93 in early 1996.  It was ordered through Campbell Supply Co. of Edison, New Jersey.

The membership of the company have been extremely happy with this piece of apparatus, since it was constructed to fit the needs of the communities that Ladder 93 responds to.
