The new E-Ones had aluminum aerials, where everthing modern before it was steel. Boston was known for agressively using the aerials to vent buildings, going through a window and up through the roof. They did this with one of the E-Ones, and burnt/melted a 4 foot section off of the end. Training had to inservice everyone about the limitations of the new aerials, and E\-One replaced the last fly, so there was never really a 96 foot aerial. The aerial was never cut, and it wasn't the result of a malfunction.[/quote]
