Can anyone tell Me if Jersey City has placed a second tiller into service? Ladder 3 is in service at this time. Was ladder 5 Added in a Reserve ladder?

To my knowledge and source, ladder 5 is numbered as the spare tiller and isn't an actual company.

According to FAJ it has been designated reserve Ladder 5. JCFD numbers its spares with numbers of now-disbanded units.

It kind of makes things difficult trying to write down the rundowns for incidents, but it is what it is.
