A fire apparatus includes a chassis, a body assembly, a front cabin, a front axle, at least one rear axle, a ladder assembly having a proximal end that is coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the at least one rear axle, a stability system, and a controller. The stability system includes a pair of front downriggers, a pair of rear downriggers, and an outrigger assembly coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the at least one rear axle. The front and rear downriggers are selectively extendable to engage a ground surface. The outrigger assembly includes a pair of outriggers that are selectively extendable from the body assembly to engage the ground surface. The controller is configured to facilitate controlling extension and retraction of the front downriggers, the rear downriggers, and the outriggers to lean the fire apparatus.
