Having worked with a 1994 75' model Firestix boom, I can say theres nothing comprable to a telesqurt boom. The scrub of the rig we have is seriously lacking, and the nozzle travel is equal to that of a typical rear mount aerial, ie it cannot operate into first floor/storefronts and cannot go below about 20-30 degrees elevation over the side due to the lift cylinder design. Its a terribly inefficient design when compared to the versatility of a true telesqurt boom. If they have changed the design since then, I'd be curious to know if it positively impacted the useful working ranges of the boom.
