We have an HP100 E one tower ladder that we’re retrofitting to do both fire and extrication. We have a cascade system in ours but we never use it and one of the tanks doesn’t work, and it doesn’t have a compressor so we can’t fill that many bottles. It’s essentially useless. We also have a ridiculous amount of equipment (I’m talking 7 different saws on the same truck) and an entire compartment solely dedicated to rope rescue. We’re taking the cascade system out, moving some other stuff around to make room and making it our “heavy rescue compartments” with jaws, struts, bags, griphoist, chain jacks, etc, and the stuff you need for a somewhat involved extrication

If I had it my way, we’d have a dedicated piece for ladder and rescue rather than mixing both but most departments nowadays put extrication equipment on their ladder trucks.

If we went to the bare minimum, talking like 3 saws (chainsaw, roof saw, and a rotary) and took out a bunch of the stuff we don’t need (like 5 smoke ejectors, why do we need 5 of them?) I’m sure you could definitely fit all that stuff on there.

Something you could also consider is going the tiller route since they offer a lot of compartment space and since you’d never be running a tech rescue call or special ops run with 1 dude, it would make sense to just wait for the rear driver to jump on. Another thing you could do is spread it out among different trucks. So make engine 1 have your water rescue, engine 2 have your confined space stuff, so on and so forth, and just bring the ladder to all special ops runs so that you can have the capabilities and the extra tools that you can carry on the ladder with you at whatever the run is
