Two of these 1917 Seagrave 85' aerial trailers were purchased and assigned to Trucks 1 and 2. Ahrens-Fox didn't build aerials at that time, but they did supply the tractors that were coupled with these ladders.

The crew of Truck 2 is seen here posing in front of their quarters on Bank Street near Linn Street. The horse drawn ladder truck was constructed in 1890 by the Fire Extinguisher Manufacturing Company of Chicago. An 85' hand raised aerial was on the apparatus.
