About Ladder 1
Ladder 1 is a 1994 Seagrave 100' Rear Mount Patriot aerial ladder.  Ladder 1 replaced the beloved 1976 Seagrave ladder truck and was the first Glenside apparatus to have an entirely enclosed cab.  Throughout Glenside Fire Company's entire history, only Seagrave ladder trucks have been housed.  Engineered for maximum efficiency and versatility, Ladder 1 has been named the Best Appearing and Equipped Aerial Ladder in Pennsylvania and has also been featured in Seagrave's annual calendar.  Ladder 1 features seating for eight firefighters and its cab design is virtually identical to that of Engine 1.  Ladder 1 is first due on all calls outside of Station 1's fire district and is equipped for FAST team operations.  Ladder 1 is also first due on all residential and technical rescues and is second due on all fire alarms and structure fires.
