CBFD Truck 2 - SN 22004

#QualityImpersonatedHashtagDuplicated

 

It’s #TillerTuesday! Castle Beach Fire Department has taken delivery of a brand new Pierce Quantum Tractor-drawn Aerial (with 15 functional compartments). Although Truck 2 comes in at 62 ft in length, the apparatus can maneuver much easier than a rear-mount or mid-mount aerial thanks to the steering 5th wheel. Truck 2 is assigned the shop number 22004 and will see action shortly. Per the Castle Beach Fire Department Truck Company Specification, this apparatus is a straight truck, carrying no water or hose. If necessary, a 3” monitor can be supplied by the 2-car and attached to the tip of the aerial for master stream operations. As part of the technical rescue team, this apparatus (along with Truck 1) has an A-frame gantry to assist with lifting heavy objects or for low angle rescues.
