Ladder 1 is now the department's primary aerial device and replaced the former Snorkel 3 seen at the bottom of
this page. However, due to it's large size, Ladder 1 is simply too long to be kept at Station 1 downtown.

CFD's latest addition was purchased with one of the largest FEMA grants ever given for a specific apparatus. Custom-built

This apparatus was originally ordered by the Kansas City Fire Department. However, it had to be returned when
it would not fit into the short station in KC. Connersville then purchased this unit and it continues to ran it as their
front line ladder company until 2006.
