Seriously impressive how maneuverable this thing is...and am I wrong, or are those mini Vision LED bars on the cab?

A European manufacturer could supply a turntable ladder appliance in a package a fraction the size of that behemoth: particularly for a low-rise, residential town like Winter Park.
If it's any comfort, these are pretty rare. Smaller fire departments usually don't have an articulated truck like this, and a lot of departments only have one.Snibsey said:What a ridiculous piece of "design".

August Arborists said:I was born in Chicago, just miss the green on rigs. Most suburban depts. had some green as well, I'm just a nostalgic type of guy, I suppose.
Skip Goulet said:In 1977 my small ambulance service bought a '67 hightop Olds ambulance from a dealer in Arlington, TX. It had come from Lyons, Ill., and had a green tunnel light over the cab on the driver's side. That wouldn't work here in Texas, so we replaced the green with a big red sealed-beam.
