FDNY Engine 1 + Ladder 24 (New Ferrara)

Engine 1 and Ladder Company 24 are seen here responding out of their quarters on W. 31st street and crossing 7th Avenue. Ladder Company 24 took delivery of their new truck in November, 2011. It's a 100 foot aerial built by Ferrara on Ferrara's Ultra custom chassis. Ferrara was awarded two contracts to build rear-mounted aerials for FDNY, the first was for 20 trucks and then in July, 2011, they were awarded an additional contract for 21 more rear-mounted ladder trucks for $22 million. This in addition to Ferrara's construction of other vehicles for FDNY, including the new Rescues, some of which are already in service. Manhattan, New York, New York, USA. 01.2012
