Denison Bulletin & Review - Four aerial fire trucks put to the test

Denison Bulletin & Review > Archives > Denison > Four aerial fire trucks put to the test: "Aerial fire trucks from four major manufacturers were put through their paces Wednesday evening in Denison.

The Denison Fire Department is considering replacing its 1994 aerial truck equipped with a 75-foot ladder but no platform. That truck is nearing the end of its life span and is developing problems.

Six companies had been invited to the demonstration. Four showed up – Smeal, E-One, Pierce and Crimson Fire."
