I’m all about innovation and each community has its unique characteristics.

Curious on its purpose and capability.

I’d assume about 9/10 calls it runs, it’ll be used as an elevated master stream. But it gives them an option to make roof access or do a rescue.

My guess is 7/10 calls it runs, they're running chains down a chimney. Don't need the reach of 100' ladder when you're not too worried about driving on the lawn.

1/10 is master stream, 2/10 is other support activities.

Rural area it is difficult to imagine an aerial making a rescue when a ground ladder will most likely arrive sooner and be quicker to throw.
