Thanks to Matthew for sharing this great shot of the US Steel SL75 ladder truck in Gary, Indiana.

This Sutphen-built ladder truck is a classic example of industrial firefighting equipment, designed to handle large-scale emergencies in heavy manufacturing areas. The unit is likely stationed at one of the major steel plants in the region, where fire safety is crucial due to the high-risk environment. With its 75-foot aerial ladder, it's well-equipped for reaching elevated structures and providing critical support during fires or other incidents.

These trucks are not just functional—they're also a symbol of the strong industrial heritage of places like Gary. If you're a fire service enthusiast or a local history buff, spotting one of these vintage units is always an exciting moment. Whether it's on duty or just sitting in the yard, it’s a reminder of the vital role that emergency services play in keeping our communities safe.

Thanks again to Matthew for contributing this image and helping keep the fire truck community connected.
