A "Q" in the fire service means a QUINT.

An engine with a pump, tank, and hosebed is a "Triple Combination Pumper"

A triple combination pumper that has a full complement of ground ladders is called a QUAD, or sometimes a "city service ladder" but NO aerial device.

A QUINT has a pump, a tank, a hose bed, a full complement of ground ladders, and an aerial ladder device. THAT is what you see in the picture.
