Boston, MA—这Boston (MA) Fire Department (BFD)has recently taken delivery of a new dual-purpose apparatus. The custom truck was engineered to be a versatile piece of the department’s emergency vehicle fleet.
The new specialty apparatus was custom built to the exact specifications of the BFD and will be used as a dual-purpose high-water/wildland fire apparatus. The chassis is an Acela Monterra (6×6) with 46-inch tires, 22-inch ground clearance, and 50-inch water fording capability. The high-water rescue up-fit consists of an extended operator’s deck, aluminum “tuck away” liftgate with 3,000-pound lift capacity, two custom aluminum slide ladders, and a lighting package that includes emergency/ground/scene lights.
