C.D. Magirus M 27 Turntable Ladder, 1935

A turntable ladder on a 1935 C.D. Magirus M 27, at an international fire brigade festival in Hard, Austria, in 2019. The ladder is older than the truck: it was built in 1913 for a horse-drawn carriage and mounted on this motor chassis in 1934 and 1935, and the rig served the German town of Weingarten until 1961. Magirus of Ulm grew from the work of Conrad Dietrich Magirus, the fire brigade pioneer credited with the mobile fire ladder.
