Arrow XT™ 100’ Ascendant™ Heavy-Duty Aerial Tower - Penndel, PA

Walk around this #ArrowXT 100’ #AscendantTower with Chief Gary Laird from Penndel Fire Company. Being silver, the color of the #AerialPlatform is to pay homage to their previous truck. The 84” compartment on the driver’s side is split to contain driver’s gear, the junction box and generator. Duraslide lays on the bottom of all the compartments, making it easier to pull items out. Threaded through the hose bed, a cord reel can be found in the exterior compartment, to save space. An additional step was added under each cab door for improved safety. The cab of the #MidMountTower is also equipped with extra storage found underneath the forward-facing seats. The officer’s seat was moved back 3” to allow for more legroom. #PenndelPA

I really like the use of “brushed”aluminum on this rig, nice looking truck and hopefully many good years of service in Bucks county!!

[@dbyers3897]

Brushed stainless steel, so not polished & not aluminum.

Beautiful

[@mattcahill3076]

Those are some interesting lights on the back and sides. Is there a special use for them?

[@rolandmiller5456]

More than likely they're there for visibility. Some departments call it scene lightning
You'd be amazed how many people swear they can't see a fire truck even when stopped on the side of the road with all the lights going.

@@rolandmiller5456 yeah i know about those… on the side there are two light bars that seem to be made of individual light heads. Idk tho
