Tower-9, Week 15 Progress Report for 9-2-16
 
By Deputy Fire Chief Steve Stockwell

This is the Progress Report for Tower-9 for the beginning of September. As you can see the truck is starting to come together as the hydraulic stabilization jacks are installed 2-front, 2-middle and 2-rear. This particular truck will have a weight capacity at 0 degrees of 950-1000lbs with the capability of flowing water which although an older aerial device has some benefits over the current Tower-9 which is impacted (weight wise) by flowing water. The body is back, painted and now installation back on to the truck. The Aerial is next and should be installed when we are out in Wisconsin next week. The truck as it moves along will start increasing in speed so stay tuned.
