1949 American La France 75' Ladder "Ladder 1" was purchased by the CVFD. Ladder 1 was in-service for over 63 years. Ladder 1 is now housed at Station 2. The Ladder was re-powered in 1979. The pump and tank were removed, a diesel replaced the old gasoline engine, an automatic transmission and airbrakes were added. Shortly after, the wooden ground ladders were replaced. In 1995, Truck 1 was repainted white matching the new, uniform color of the Coraopolis Fire Department's apparatus.
Ladder 1 is not equipped with a water tank or pump and only carries ladders and truck company tools. The aerial can be used for master stream operations.
