Looks like a Magirus single screw mechanical ladder I believe.

It actually has "Magirus Leiter" on the side of the turret.

This seems to be a Simis-Drouville semi automatic 24m ladder, EPSA, at Boursault FS BSPP

Simis-Drouville was a industrial merge from Drouville fire engines manufacturer

Rob I do confirm Simis-Drouville TL 24m, letter at the back are like warning instructions, looking like the Magirus Leiter lettering

Could it have been using a Magirus ladder set?. If not, it looks like a very close copy!

Petros : Yes Belphegor
Rob : Checked with BSPP Veterans and confirmed its a Simis-Drouville 24m Semi automatic, so called budget ladder. Very basic mechanics
Paris only had 30m TTL from Magirus on Berliet and SAVIEM during the 60'/70'

Thanks J-P! Never heard of this manufacturer. As you say, pretty basic piece of kit….
