Truck 1's current rig is a 2001 91' Bronto Skylift with an E-One cab. The boom is an articulating platform style with 2 booms, a "jib arm" and a rotating bucket. These features allow us to reach numerous windows quickly, get under soffits and roof overhangs, get up and over other buildings, square up to rooflines for easier roof operations, go below grade, etc. Having these features makes us very versatile on the fireground with the ability to perform our functions quickly and efficiently usually from inside the bucket.
