Fire Apparatus and Aerial Platforms
Aerial platform trucks allow firefighters to reach high building stories and spray water from elevated vantage points. The vehicle carries heavy stabilization jacks that extend outward to secure the chassis while the boom lifts. Parking outside the station house keeps the rig ready for rapid emergency calls.
Engineering of Fire Trucks
Aerial platforms use hydraulic pressure systems to extend heavy metal ladder sections smoothly into the air. Water pipes run directly up the boom structure so firefighters inside the basket can operate hoses at high elevations. Emergency light bars flash bright signals to clear traffic during emergency travel.
