Approximately 6 stories for aerial ladders and 7 stories for the aerial platforms. It is dependent on how close the apparatus can get to the building and if there is underground parking that will restrict fire apparatus due to their weight.

It depends on how close the ladder can get to the building and whether underground parking will restrict the apparatus. On average, however, aerial ladders reach six storeys and aerial platforms reach seven stories.

Approximately 6 stories for aerial ladders, and 7 stories for the aerial platforms. It is dependent on how close the apparatus can get to the building, and if there is underground parking which will restrict fire apparatus due to their weight. The Rahway Fire Department has an Emergency One platform tower. At maximum angle of 80 it has a 95 feet reach. At an angle of 60 it has a reach of 84 feet.
