Pacific chasis 12 wheels for the 167 and freightliner 6 wheel for the rest of the bronto fleet,except the ex St. Laurent this one was on a Simon duplex 10 wheels chasis. At this time only 4 bronto are in service in Montréal. A rumor for a

purchase of 4 new in the year to come.

More than a rumor.l The specs have been done. Because there is now an alternative to Bronto the purchase will have to go to tender. We probably won't seem them until 2011 or 2012.

SO this Tower ladders that are over 115' Are they used just as a normal Ladder co or are they a like specialized ladder only used for highrise calls or special type calls. and i know it was mentioned but is there a second vehicle that runs with this unit with more crew members or what just wondering. i have seen these in line art but didnt think they actually exsisted. so any info would be nice thanks.

I guess these worked out for the Department. I always wondered about the other Bronto owners, I even was thinking of contacting them about these rigs.

Is it just me or do Quints seem to be popular down there? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Very popular!! Honestly, I'd say that most departments down here have a least one in their fleet.

I haven't heard any major complaints, I think the guys really like them.

go2evryfyr,



no pump, it's standard Braun box mounted on a Spartan Furion chassis.

Thanx, Alex- I was looking at the pix, figuring they saved space in the Firehouse due to no 'nose' on them like the old Ambo's.........

Most likely what she saw was a few of the (14) to be delivered Spartan/Braun rescue(ambulance) trucks that are due.I know of nothing else as far as engines, aerials, or other for future orders.

Well I found out what she saw. 2 Peterbilt tandem Cabover tractors with tandem trailers. One is a communications unit the other is a support unit. Both built by Elite Custom Coach.

Wing1223,



Correct! I saw them both during the superbowl and to my understanding they're being stored at Homestead Air Reserve Base.
