Truck 32 was operating the spare that was their former rig when this fire occured on September 23, 2007. The location, on Rockdale Avenue, was across the street from the previous quarters of Engine 32 and Truck 12. Unfortunately this apparatus was sold at the December 8, 2007 Municipal Auction for a mere $3,600.00.

1927 Ahrens-Fox 85' Aerial Shop #25204
This ladder was originally placed in service as Truck 1 on December 26, 1927 at 5:00 p.m. On June 20, 1935 the apparatus was reassigned to Truck 4. This piece was probably sent to Truck 12 when Truck 4 received a new Seagrave tiller in 1947.
