Ladder 11 is a Pierce 107 and the first of its kind in Minnesota. It is a lightweight ladder truck that can serve both EMS and fire-response emergencies. A few of the improved features include better ladder capabilities and a Compressed Air Foam System, which is seven times more effective in fighting fires than water alone. Being smaller and lighter in weight, the truck will do less damage to the roads and give MPS the ability to fit into tighter spaces, ensuring greater safety to the SMSC as a whole.
